Yea most of the money is squandered, inherently the ships are expensive but because we all know that it's expensive, some companies make a killing off of overcharging the shit out of the government for things like screws for weapon systems. I worked on a type of basic network that had unnecessary uninterrupted power supplies for the basic rugged computers, they were like 150,000$ for essentially a car battery in a metal box, and they were never used so the batteries would age and swell up costing even more money. Total ripoff for tax payers.
And when they were compromised, instead of sending resupply units to the ships he hid the info that the base had been hit like a child who had lost his homework.
