When the economy was on track and deliver exceptional hegemony, when the state financial budget surpluses beyond measure, when political diplomacy gripping the corners of the world, when human resources, equipment, and materials at the level of the superior, then what can be done to create a state machine lethal war with seemingly unlimited budgets? Here are five toy U.S. armed forces are the most expensive.
5. Iowa Class Battleship
In the period 1939 to 1942 seidaknya has 4 units of the Iowa-class battleships.
Warships of this type required by the U.S. government in 1939 as the ultimate weapon to control a power hitter fleet in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Indeed the American government plans to make six warships of this type, but because of the large costs required at the time it was decided to only make four boats only. Ship type of Iowa began the task for all units of its fleet 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 (around 17 trillion USD). Actual costs would be kept confidential, but this is the calculation of some economic observers at the time that has considered the factors of inflation and currency depreciation of the dollar. With the establishment of four ships worth 1.8 billion USD, meaning its total cost is $ 7.2. (About 68 trillion USD.).
4. Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle
Still remember the moment of the debate between the two kadidat American president John Mc Cain and
Barack Obama during the presidential campaign discuss the defense department budget? Do you remember when John McCain talked about the program of making the amphibious vehicles that suck up the budget so large that quoted from the taxpayers? Why is this a very interesting? Not least because the costs are budgeted to make this a fighting machine.
Job creation is true amphibious vehicle has been started since the 1970's and continues to this day. With a full aluminum body of the vehicle, able to navigate the oceans and superior when fighting on land. The vehicle is controlled and capable of carrying 3 people 17 personnel. The 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. Defence official, just a prototype that still continue to be refined and developed. U.S. Defence Parties are still not satisfied with the performance of these vehicles because it can only operate for a maximum of 4.5 hours.
3. Ohio Class Nuclear Submarine
Ohio-class nuclear submarine that is a real successor of the previous Nuclear Submarine series, such as Trident Class.
Submarine was manned by 155 crew. P {embuatan submarine is very confidential, let alone its nuclear reactor, there is no single document that can be tracked. But, clearly, all the device driver following the submarine is a mechanical life-support system in it (the water separator into the air, purifying sea water) is designed to be capable of operating up to 100 years old submarine. What does it mean? Suppose the submarine filled with material of this meal, and sail around the ocean, the submarine was only stopped when material runs out of food, not because the fuel runs out.
The cost of making the 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.)
2. Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers
Giving the name of Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers are given to commemorate the heroes of United Flight Marine Admiral Chester W. Nimitz
. All the aircraft carrier named for the average American heroes from the military, and President of the U.S. sperti USS John. Stennis, the USS Carl Vinson and USS Ronald Reagan. With a strengthened nuclear reactors as the driving motor, carrier USS Nimitz was first to strengthen the U.S. Navy fleet on May 3, 1975. Until now, there are 10 units of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier operations. With about 400 meters long, and manned by 5700 personnel, aircraft carrier cruising is the same as the Ohio-class submarines, capable of sailing around the ocean without stopping. The cost of making an aircraft carrier is about 4.5 billion USD (about 40 trillion USD), so that when the entire fleet totaled price is 45 billion USD (about 400 trillion USD).
1. B-2 Stealth bomber
Imagine, if your house next to the headquarters of the Army,
and was also the country you are in confrontation with America. When you sit relaxed, no sound at once invisible in silence ... Suddenly in the distance is less than 1 mile sejarak've seen aircraft B-2 Spirit bomber that has been opened stomach to drop a bomb on your neighbor.
That's the stealth bomber, which haunts the location where the conflict with America. During buertugas, none of the fleet was shot down enemy aircraft. This aircraft has produced as many as 21 units, where 1 unit has fallen not because of the fighting in the base, Guam. By law, Americans are not going to sell stealth aircraft (B-2 Spirit, F-22, F-117) to any country.
The cost of making this aircraft ranging from the idea, prototype to production an aircraft is 23 billion USD (about 205 trillion USD.). However, the price of an aircraft is 1.3 billion USD (about 10.5 trillion USD.). When 21 units of aircraft ready to operate all over the world wherever multiplied by 1.3 billion USD plus
Research costs valued at 23 USD, then it's all worth 50.3 billion USD (around 490 trillion USD).
