FILE - In this Sunday, March 30, 2014 file photo, Royal Australian Navy Commodore Peter Leavy, center, commander of joint task force 658, accompanied by U.S. Navy Captain Mark Matthews, right, and Chief of the Royal Australian Navy Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, speak at a press conference at naval base HMAS Stirling about the Australian navy ship Ocean Shield, shown in the background, and her roll in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in Perth, Australia. It’s not a question most governments involved in the hunt for the jetliner care to answer: How much has the far-flung, month-long search cost? The U.S. bill alone has run into the millions of dollars, and Australia is spending more than half a million dollars a day on just one of the ships it has in the Indian Ocean.
