#5  Suggestion: Greece shouldn't buy any major weapons systems for a while. Let them fix their financial problems. There isn't going to be a war anywhere in the world where we, the Euros or anyone else is going to be depending on the Greeks. Let them use what they have now, let them train their military to be good and efficient with what they have now, and when the crunch is over, say in five or ten years, they can then figure out what kind of military they need and how to equip it.

#4  I kinda like the idea that other nation's ships are inferior, makes it easier if we need to sink them.

#3  And I keep reading derogatory information about the performance of the Aegis-equivalent radar and missiles on those frigates, to the effect that their ESSM-equivalent can't hit sea-skimming missiles of the sort that are all the style from threat nations.
