The cost of the ships is capped at $460 million apiece

And we're only getting 55! At that bargain price we should be getting 1000's!

Back in the late 50s it was rumored that 'The United States' could top 40 knots 'brute force'.

The true top speed was and remained a military secret - the large steamers back then were part of the strategic defense - and thus never was confirmed.
