#1 Carriers are nothing but huge targets, which we will very quickly find out during the next shooting war. Sell the Russians all they can carry. Heck, do to them what the Russians did to the Chinese.

#2 This isn't a carrier. It's an smallish amphibious assault ship -- similar to ex Trenton... sold to India.

#3 It isn't the ship that should be the concern but the weapons systems, communications, command and control that might be included. Why use spies when you can buy the stuff outright.
