If one of my competitors was banned from bidding, I would raise my price.  Guess Boeing was paying attention.  Concerning the Kuwait price, it includes support, weapons, and some items we already have.  It also included 18 CFTs.  I don't believe the USN has ordered any of these yet.  They are one part of the so called ASH.  If  Kuwait had actually bought ASHs, the price would be even higher but it would provide an estimate of the only viable albeit very poor alternative and the number will pretty close to the F-35.
