Almost nothing relative to the us budget.

An aircraft carrier costs almost nothing compared to the US budget. That's not a useful metric.

Less than it would cost for you to sell your body for sex? More than the cost of a single elephant? Less than 500 lbs of tulips during the crypto boom accounting for inflation.
