I couldn't fill the whole thing into the title, but I was wondering if anyone has a link that has information on how much it costs to build military equipment, such as-

F-15s
F/A-18s
Aircraft Carriers
Tanks

etc. Like how much a carrier costs to build, etc.

or you can make up your own number, which will be almost as accurate as trying to figure out how much the military actually pays for things.

Well my info is out of date... way out of date I am sure, but here goes...

When I was in teh service the most expensive aircraft was the F-14A + (later designated as F-14B) at 42 million, followed by the F-15 at 33 million and the F-18 at 8 million with the F-16 bringing up the tail end at 7 million...

A Nimitz carrier was 2 Billion and an M1 Tank was 1 million...
