The Arsenal ship was able to be designed for 69+ crew. It's a question of automated systems. My figure is dead on accurate.
Actually it wouldn't. That 396 million dollars is construction costs. Constrution costs refers to just the ship, armor ect. It does not include the E-Warfare systems and weapons. With weapons I gave this estimate $986.756 Million.
This is because my ship is conventional. It isn't a DD(X) spin-off. It is simply designed to use weapons and e-warfare systems, everything else is conventional. Automation systems aren't counted against ship price because they eliminate sailors who receive paychecks. Theres a very specific way of figuring costs here.
Plus it's made to be cheap. Scrap metal anyone?
As I said before, the Queen Mary 2 is a 150,000 ton cruise liner and it costs $852 million.
Using the same specs as my light battleship (the other exalibur BB(X) ) I can maintain both a Battleship BB(X) and a BC(X) for reasonable levels of cash.
