5 Armament most advanced and most expensive American

The weapon is absolutely needed by each country to maintain its sovereignty, to defend a country then the big countries trying to strengthen their weaponry, but there are some super state that makes their weapons to oppress the weak countries like the U.S., Israel, etc.. Well here are 5 the most expensive American weapons

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 weapons hitter for controlling power 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 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 (around 17 trillion USD). Concealed the true cost of course, but these are calculations 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 the 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's budget? Do you remember when John McCain spoke about program making the amphibious vehicle that suck the budget is 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 amphibians that have been made and served in the U.S. Defence official, just a prototype that is still being 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 a series on nuclear submarines before, such as Trident Class. Submarine was manned by 155 crew. Making the submarine is very confidential, let alone nuclear reactors, none of the documents that can be tracked. But, obviously, all these submarine propulsion device following 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 this submarine was 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 after the average American heroes from the military, and U.S. President 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 totalized price all of this fleet is 45 billion USD (about 400 trillion USD).

1. B-2 Stealth bomber

Imagine, if your house next to the headquarters of the Armed Forces, and then you're also the state of confrontation with America. When you sit relaxed, no audible sound while not visible in silence ... Suddenly in the distance is less than 1 mile sejarak've seen aircraft B-2 Spirit bomber that has opened the 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 these planes were shot down an enemy. 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 ideas, prototypes to production of a plane 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 that is ready to operate anywhere around the world 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).
