>if the Ammerican Navy has the same penchant for $2500 coffee pots as
the
US army one should probably assume either of the lower bounds,
ie 2 `supercomputers' of ten transputers each (or $90,000 per tp)
or 10  `supercomputers' of one tp each (or $180,000 per tp). 
One would hope that at those prices they are getting T800's not T414's !!!!



As a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy,  I would like to state that we
do not have penchants for $2500 coffeepots, $200,000 screwdrivers or
other extravagances.  We buy our transputers at the same prices as
everyone else.
