A lot of people are choosing the Astute, but not mentioning why. Why the Astute class over the others. Just how much do those subs cost anyway? I think I remember reading 1.8 billion apiece, but can't be sure.

EDIT2: OK. Found a link that states that each Astute is 1.2 BILLION pounds apiece about the cost of a Virginia. (2 billion dollars)

That being the case. With the cost of an Astute = to a VA, is an Astute the better deal?.....
