Buy or bombs or we'll give them to you free? (No guarantee to be intact upon delivery, but unlikely.)

#4 This is a golden opportunity for the US.
I'm sure we have a spare ship or two or three, that could be 'spared' in the interests of friendship.
The US needs to invest in India and become much closer.
The two countries have much in common.
India has already one of the largest navy's in the world and patrols some of the worlds most vital shipping lanes.
India is indicating a willingness to step up to the plate and take on it's responsibilities as an upcoming world power. This positioning by India should be rewarded.
A gesture of generosity now, could reap large diplomatic gains in the future.

Besides Indian food is wonderful LOL

#5 Agreed, Mike H, but President Obama doesn't like India for a number of reasons, including that they invited former President Bush before they invited him, and that he spent a college Christmas holiday shooting pheasant in Pakistan with his Pakistani roommate's family.
