Just be thankful that Navy has a solid pipeline of construction.
It is not just cost of missiles but the cost of the ship itself which is worrying.
$5B/4 = $1.25B per ship.
Equivalent ships cost a lot less -
FFGX (USN) - $900M (32 VLS + 16 AShM
Sejong (RoK) - $1.1B (128 VLS + 16 AShM)
Not to forget each of those VLS can carry 4 ESSM
