Sure enough, there are not 34 ships and there isnt an aircraft carrier supporting the presidents trip, said a defense official, who declined to provide any information on security measures for presidential trips.So the guy who declined ANY information says he's sure there will not be 34 warships. 35 maybe? I wouldn't say that the "rumors" are not true based upon this story.But the news editor for Press Trust of India said they stand by their story.
Foreign media always exaggerate about presidential trips, Gordon Johndroe, former deputy White House spokesman under President George W. Bush, said in an e-mail.. I am positive there will not be 34 warships involved in this trip.

Notice the article doesn’t say “no ships”. It only says “no aircraft carrier”.
