pfft. First they raise your hopes by telling you that it's surprisingly affordable, then they tell you it's actually $208 million.

considering they spent 2.2 billion on each b-2, this is a downright steal.

They even made a hole in the front of it to shoot proton torpedoes into.

What's it going to be used for? I mean other than a few pirates with tanks, and the occasional Canadian fisherman going off course...

I think we should do something more important with the money. Like give it to a bank.

Star Destroyers are those triangular looking things...

You know in the 80's when they were talking about their STARWARS defense system I would have thought with all that monwy they would have come up with something that could at least fly. A boat? Really? I really think what they have in their navy is good enough and even moreso when it is assisted by a jet fighter. You know the things that can go faster then 80 knots already.

Have they settled on what they're going to blow up first?
