The cost of each of the 14 additional vessels is expected to jump to slightly more than $18 billion from $10.2 billion, for a total cost of $275 billion for 15 ships.
The estimates were calculated by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which said that the first of the battleships might take eight years or longer to build.

@Nonilex@masto.ai Our wise leaders apparently learned nothing from the scuttling of the Moskova battleship using drones.

@Nonilex@masto.ai I somehow doubt that project will ever finish. I think the money will just vanish mysteriously and maybe one or two will get built. And among those, they will probably all have some stupid flaw from cutting corners, like when the laundry machines get really busy all the circuit breakers in the bridge will trip.
