If the F-35 is America’s Most Expensive Weapon of War, does that mean it costs more than an aircraft carrier or a nuclear submarine?

[Pearls Before Swine]

The program does, if not each aircraft.

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.
