100k shells at $100k each (there never was a chance that LRLAP would have been as cheap as Excalibur) is a $10bn contract, and production in any given year probably would be about 3000 shells (2x ships produced plus some extra) for an annual cost of $300mil. $300mil is a rounding error in most Defense budgets!


When one TacTom is $1.5mil, just arming the ships is a half billion dollars.
