I believe one thing that drives up the prices on all this mil grade equipment
is requirments for measured drawings so these things can be repaired or
replaced
when in service. For example on ship or sub there is machine shops to fix
things
or fabricate replacement parts.

If they put $ 600 toilet seats in b1 bombers, wonder how much the ones
in the White House or AF-1 cost ?
