You need better sources, Bill likes to skew numbers like this "The URF for the 2012 buy is $55.6 million, engines included." what he doesn't tell the reader is that the $55.6 URF is in base year dollars, the sar 2012 year dollar for a SH is ~$66m. He then compairs it to an LRIP 2016 price (surprise LRIP's are dearer than full producton which is ~$73m)..Sweetman is a funny guy, great sense of humour, but he fails as a credible journalist
