Peter We,
The compound interest rate averages around 2.3% for the time difference. so the difference in price is likely only to be a few hundred million.
And I never tried to suggest that oil is more expensive than nuclear.
You're missing my point anyway, my point was never "we should have bought the USS George Bush", I'm pointing out that once again, the mod has spent the family silverware and is ending up with a very much diminished capability. Rather like the decision to go with Typhoon over the Strike Eagle.

Fair point.
