with a single cruise missile costing $5M....
the whole "missile" bit seems to ring a bit hollow.

i think it was casper weinberger who said that the nuclear device costs much less than its delivery system..

meaning, missiles are extremely expensive. and as for patrol boats.. heck we can't even maintain the three peacock-class patrol boats that we purchased from the royal hong kong squadron in 1997. i believe two of them are already non-functional.
