The official figure cited for four ships is about 1.3 billion. Additional construction expenditure and uncertainty over how some weapons were procured complicate a direct comparison. The estimate offered rises to at least 1.45 billion and possibly 1.6 billion. Even at the higher estimate, the ships receive a favourable cost assessment among the programmes covered. The first commissioning expectation is tentative, described as theoretically the following year.
