    Wasn’t the second one built by an eccentric billionaire or something? Like a Howard Hughes type.

      It was actually the us government that built a second one in secret, which actually sounds about right.

        Close. The US controlled it but it was built by Japanese subcontractors who just happen to be…

        …recently acquired… …wholly-owned subsidiaries… …of Hadden Industries.
