Best Answer

The current-generation U.S.S. Virginia nuclear attack submarines cost between 1.8 and 2 billion dollars each, including the amortized development costs for designing the class (i.e. it costs about 1.4 billion or so to actually build the sub, but there were several billion in startup, R&D, and design costs for the class, which adds about .5 billion to each sub).

A typical non-nuclear attack submarine (such as the German Type 212) costs around $500 million, including the amortized development costs. Note that the typical non-nuclear attack submarine is usually about half the size (and a quarter of the displacement) of a nuclear attack sub.
