#1 I would think that Indonesia ought to invest in a tsunami warning system first, but what do I know?

#2 Amen, AP.

Funny though, why would the Russkies, et al, think the Indos are gonna be needing hi-tech defense systems? When were they last invaded or attacked by anything more than machete-wielding natives?

Heh.

#3 The corvettes would be useful and cost-effective in anti-piracy operations... Personally, I think we should be building this class of ships ourselves, instead of bloated money-hogs like the DDX.

#4 I think we got all the Perry class we need FreeRadical. Lot of 'em are sitting quietly.

#5 Agreed Shipman.

Use the Perrys to back up the corvettes, which I imagine are sort of an E-Boat on steroids... all the speed and twice the firepower.

However, this will require tricky negotiations with other countries to allow us at least 'hot pursuit' rights into their territorial waters.

Not sure State can pull this off...
