lol.. due to cost overruns, it's now $6B per Zumwalt destroyer. 😱
There has not been a diesel aircraft carrier built or commissioned in the US Navy in literally 60 years (1961). You have no estimation of the build-cost of a diesel carrier in over half a century, so...
And that is why we can't have essential things, like health care.lol.. due to cost overruns, it's now $6B per Zumwalt destroyer. 😱
that's 1/2 the cost of a non-nuclear aircraft carrier!
plus there's no ammo for it.
it's $1M each shot! That's $20mil every 10min! (Initial estimates were $35k each shot 😱 )
Tomahawk missiles costs $1M and are 3x better
if the US, whose military budget is greater than the next 10 countries combined, balked at those costs then what other country will buy it?
psst.. i was responding to the person who said sell the Zumwalts to allies.
Taiwan would be interested in a few of all Tomahawk variant.lol.. due to cost overruns, it's now $6B per Zumwalt destroyer. 😱

Not a fleet carrier...no. And strictly speaking, there's never been a "diesel" powered US carrier..... BUT, all the assault carriers are either steam or turbines, and they are conventionally powered and they are still enormous. And they run on probably JP-5, which isn't diesel, but probably not far from it.
It's also why there hasn't been a World War 3. So there's that.
WOW, you really need to pay attention to WHY we spend so much on war toys. Like forcing the $80,000,000,000.00 (That's 80 BILLION, EACH in case numbers are a challenge for you) each F35 on the military when they didn't want it or need it... but the politicians contributors war toy makers own these corrupt bastards.

The 283 F35s in the US have cost 22.5 TRILLION. That and only that would provide healthcare for everyone.
The F35 is a failure.
The U.S. Air Force Just Admitted The F-35 Stealth Fighter Has Failed
The U.S. Air Force’s chief of staff wants the service to develop an affordable, lightweight fighter to replace hundreds of aging F-16s and complement a small fleet of sophisticated F-35 stealth fighters. But an affordable, lightweight fighter is exactly what the F-35 was first conceived to be.
Stupid thinking and believing the war hawk bullshit coming from the military industrial complex and their whore politicians are another reason we can't have nice things.
I've seen graphs like this before and I often wonder how much of that spending is due to wages. I often wonder if the DOD even knows just how many people they employ.lol.. due to cost overruns, it's now $6B per Zumwalt destroyer. 😱

You might want to look at your numbers again. They aren't remotely accurate. I doubt we've spent 22.5 trillion on all the military planes we've ever bought in the history of the country.WOW, you really need to pay attention to WHY we spend so much on war toys.
