Cost of F100

Hi Danrh Read your post and – The overall cost of the 3 AWD project has been said to cost up to $7Bill. & probably going up, this is about $2.33bill each ,a lot of money. I have been unable to workout if the $500Mill saving quoted on the F100 is for the whole 3 ship project or $500Mill each. I suspect it is on the whole 3 ship project & if so I think the G&C design is much more capable at an added cost of $166Mill each. Still it is a lot of money.The F100 seems reasonably OK to me but I am not really convinced of the need for these ships, We are going to get them anyhow, if the G&C design is $500Mill better I say go for it if not get the F100, it will still be a big step forward for the RAN
