USS America – $3.4 billion
The USS America is one of the latest additions to the arsenal as well. The behemoth can carry up to 34 planes and has a range of 22,000 nautical miles at 12.5 knots. The 86,000-square-foot flight deck was also built to withstand the heat generated by the advanced F-35B aircraft. Unlike other warships, the USS America reduces the well-deck capacity to allow for more aviation and combat equipment storage. Huntington Ingalls manufactures the warship, which costs $3.4 billion to build and $10.1 billion to buy.
