B-2 Stealth Bomber

During the charge, none of these planes were shot down an enemy. This aircraft was manufactured as many as 21 units, where 1 unit has fallen not because of the fighting at their base, Guam. By law, the Americans are not going to sell stealth aircraft (B-2 Spirit, F-22, F-117) to any country.

The cost of making this plane starting from the idea, prototype to production a plane is 23 billion USD (about 205 trillion USD.). However, the price of a plane is 1.3 billion USD (about 10.5 trillion USD.). When 21 units of aircraft that is ready to operate anywhere around the world multiplied by 1.3 billion USD plus the cost of research worth 23 USD, then it's all worth 50.3 billion USD (around 490 trillion USD).

Ohio Class Nuclear Submarines

Ohio-class nuclear submarine that is a real successor of a series on nuclear submarines before, such as the Trident Class. Submarine was manned by 155 crew. Manufacture of submarines is extremely confidential, especially its nuclear reactor, none of the documents that can be tracked. But, obviously, all these submarine propulsion device following mechanical life support system in it (separation of water into the air, purifying sea water) is designed to be capable of operating up to 100 years old submarine. What does it mean? Suppose that the submarine was filled with food material, and sail around the ocean, the submarine was only stopped when the food material discharged, not because of its fuel runs out. The cost of making this submarine is about 2 billion USD (about 19 trillion USD.) Per unit. Currently the U.S. has 18 units of the Ohio-class nuclear submarines. Thus, the total worth of 18 billion USD (about 165 trillion USD.)

Still remember the moment of the debate between two presidential candidates John Mc Cain and Barack Obama during the presidential campaign discuss the defense department's budget? Do you remember when John McCain talks about making amphibious vehicle program that suck budgets so large that quoted from the taxpayers? Why is this very interesting?

With a full aluminum body of the vehicle, able to navigate the oceans and superior when fighting on land. The vehicle is controlled 3 people and capable of carrying 17 personnel. Total costs already incurred to date is 15.9 billion USD (around 140 trillion USD). There has been no one else that has to be amphibious and served in the U.S. Defense official, just a prototype that is still being refined and developed. U.S. Defense Parties are still not satisfied with the performance of this vehicle because it can only operate for a maximum of 4.5 hours.

Ship types Iowa started the task of the entire fleet units on 22 February 1943, and now all of his unit had to retire in March 2006.The cost of making a ship at that time (1943) is about 1.8 billion USD (about 17 trillion USD). The actual cost would be kept confidential, but this is the calculation of some economic observers at the time that has considered the factors of inflation and dollar depreciation. With the establishment of four ships worth 1.8 billion USD, means the total cost is $ 7.2.
