    It’s not a cost overrun, the scope of the project got expanded to include carrier operations.

    Look up FUTA docking to see the cost breakdown

      The carrier operations are shared jointly between several NATO countries, and would mostly be covered under the Yearly International Freedom Fund (YIFF).

        That makes sense, but will that also cover the Vertically Oriented Reconnaissance Equipment (VORE) package as well?

          Indeed, it’s necessary in order to sync its Direct Intervention Combustible Kinetics via the Tactical Information Transmission System.

          If you ask me, it’s this combo of DICK and TITS that really makes FUTA special.
