Wasn't the second one built by an eccentric billionaire or something? Like a Howard Hughes type.

    It was actually the us government that built a second one in secret, which actually sounds about right.

    Close. The US controlled it but it was built by Japanese subcontractors who just happen to be...

    ...recently acquired... ...wholly-owned subsidiaries... ...of Hadden Industries.
