Opportunity for the #IndianNavy to pick up 3 Whidbey class LPDs, would fit right in with the Jalashwa & help develop HADR & Amphibious capability.
The Nimitz built in 1972 is too old .

Better than not having any !
For the record the INS Jalashwa started life as the USS Trenton in 1971 , will serve the #IndianNavy for another decade at least .
At least 3 Whidbey class vessels Rushmore, Ashland & Tortuga were commissioned post 1990 .

The above again should be dependent on price , anything above $30Mn for each & it'll be better to get new built Tarlac/Moattama/Makassar class LPDs from #SouthKorea . These 11000Ton ships come at ~$60-70Mn each .
Four 31000Ton Henry Kaiser class Replenishment vessels also on offer apparently , should be looked at seriously. Commissioned between 1988-1996 these could be a good fit if we get them at a good price .

The four Avenger class MCMVs could be looked at as well.
The #IndianNavy needs to concentrate scarce resources on building frontline combat vessels like the SSKs, SSNs & CVs it has planned . Looking at used vessels for logistics & HADR roles could help lower the financial costs.

Good idea there would be to offer to acquire another 24-36 MH-60R if the 4 LPDs came as gratis .
