A Francia le facturaron 1320M$ por:
(Parece que) 3 sistemas de de lanzamiento EMALS
2 sistemas de almacenamiento de energia
3 sistemas AAG (3 cables, 6 sistemas de absorcion de energia)
Esa cifra proviene de la DSCA, que suele poner cifrar más abultadas de las después contratadas. De momento toca esperar a que salga el contrato definitivo. La nota original (2021): https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-08578.pdf
