| Source measurement | The U.S. Navy contracted for the first FFG 62 in FY2020. The second ship contract was awarded in April 2021, and the third in FY22. The U.S. Navy's proposed FY2020 budget request was $1.281-billion for the procurement of the first FFG 62. The U.S. Navy's FY2020 budget submission shows that subsequent ships in the class were estimated by the Navy to cost $850 to $950-million each in then-year dollars.[source]Constellation-class frigate · Development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
