Cost to build Gerald R. Ford: a little over $10 billion.
F-35 budget to date: almost $400 billion. $163 million per aircraft.

The F-22 is supposed to be the expensive one. Including research and development, each aircraft costs about $339 million per aircraft. But now that development is over, each additional one is only about $138 million. And it's a much better plane.

Scary to think we could buy about 40 aircraft carriers for the cost of the F-35 program.
