Surely the port is more than a naval base. Having been a major port into India for thousands of years. I suppose you have some proof that any nuclear state has ever considered such a delivery system? Sure, most nuclear states use ships as a delivery method. -- Meddle ye not in the Affairs of Dragons, for Thou art Crunchy and taste Goode with Ketchup. |

Surely the port is more than a naval base. Seperate installations. The Indian naval base in Goa is a new build. Having been a major port into India for thousands of years. Well no. It was build by the Portuguese about 500 years ago. Bombay, where the other big base is, was, famously, built in a malarial swamp by the British. The naval base there, built by the British, is a fair way from the docks. Anyone blowing up a population centre of about 25 million people with an atomic bomb had better be sure nobody's going to come around later with a war crimes tribunal... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
