AA : Many thanks for the Price indication. I believe to Build a New Ship of this type would cost may be in Hundreds of Millions of US Dollars. As per the US Navy Website she was originally built at a cost of around USD 400 Million.

Of course to the USD 12 Million one has to add the cost of “Refurbishing-Updating-Recommissioning”
