The Froggy Subs cost (starting price) $90 billion for a dozen;
that's $7.5 billion USD a pop.
The latest US Nuke Subs cost $5.5 USD billion a pop....that's $10 odd billion a piece in our Peso
https://news.usni.org/2019/10/10/cbo-navys-next-nuclear-attack-submarine-could-cost-5-5b-a-hullLets assume that we're getting 8 and the total budget is the same as the Froggy jobs;
that's $11.25 billion AUD/apiece .
If it were that, then ScoMo & Birmingham would be spruiking it all over the airways.
So logically we have to assume its a lot more than that.
With China being able to build a Nuke aircraft carrier in 4 years and Nuke Sobs in less
than that and with a better than 50% US war within a decade, a 20 year build time
is for the birds, IMO and the timing of the announcement indicates to me that it may
be 95% election politics & 5% Subs!
