Falastur would like to purchase 10 Challenger, 10 Virginia IV and 10 Swordfish Class submarines, for combat and endurance trials. Satisfactory results may result in a much larger order.

I'm not so sure on the second two submarines whether the price is in Nus or $s, could you work out the prices for me? Thanks....
