Not at risk to our security though. Maybe we should pull the ship back into open waters and let the Indian government provide a ferry service . I too believe we should help our neighbors but providing free hotel service to a bunch of ingrats and worse allowing our enemies access to one of our carriers should be discoraged IMO.

Of course not. But I don't see how letting the UN eat and sleep on board is a security risk. Maybe a nuisance for the troops, but not a risk.

I thought that had already been done. Indonesia had the choice of allowing training exercises and getting more help, or not. They chose not.
