Nice find. There is a blurb in the film about each 14" shell cost $940 or so in 1915 money. Today it takes $23.25 to buy what $1.00 bought in 1915.
Today that 14" shell would cost over $23,000 per shot. But then add in electronic guidance and a couple of other add on's. I shudder to think what each TOW or guided ordinance costs.
