Unused civilian cargo 747s leased/modified at $10 million each with RO/RO
                                                                           VS
ramps, 463L pallets as second floor for tracked vehicles can transport: 420-
569 troops or 6 x M113A3 Gavins or 21 x Wiesel 2 AFVs
www.corazon.com/747specsheet.html

The 747-400 can carry more than 57,000 gallons of fuel (215,745 L). This
makes it possible for the airplane to fly extremely long routes, such as
between San Francisco and Sydney. The 3,300 gallons (12,490 liters) of fuel
carried in a tank in the horizontal (tail) stabilizer can take the 747-400 an
extra 400 miles.

8,290 miles @ 500 mph OVER sea mines, submarines, naval blockades,
missiles = one-day direct-delivery to TSB

Energy cost: 57, 000 gallons of fuel, If jet fuel is $1 a gallon; $57,000 total
fuel cost

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/000802/luv.html
"The average price paid for jet fuel in 2000 was $.7995 per gallon compared to $.4192 in 1999, including the effects
of hedging activities."
