@odditylooms: The cost of U.S. Navy ammunition varies wildly depending on the weapon. At the extreme end, the Navy’s new hypersonic Conventional Prompt Strike missile can exceed $50 million per shot, while a modern Tomahawk cruise missile averages around $2 million. Advanced air-defense weapons like the SM-6 typically cost about $5 million, and even short-range Rolling Airframe Missiles can approach $1 million each. Some of the most surprising prices came from the Zumwalt destroyer’s cancelled LRLAP shells, which reached $800,000–$1 million per round. In contrast, traditional 5-inch naval gun ammunition is far cheaper per shell, though fleet-wide buying still runs into tens of millions. Together, these figures show how modern naval firepower comes with staggering price tags. ➡️ Join our community @odditylooms for your daily dose of oddities. ➡️ A great way to support the channel is by hitting the follow button, dropping us a like, and leaving a comment.
