Admiral Quintero nods and scribbles: "That is certainly a possibility; however, the Mexicans don't strictly buy American. It would be simpler and more effective if a broader understanding could be reached.

OOC: Rocky contemplates arguing with himself about Bharati exports to Iberia's rivals...

Strictly speaking, Admiral Quintero doesn't know about this yet, unless Admiral King is presumed to raise the point.

OOC: Don't worry, Iberia. France and Chile don't sell used warships. New-built warships (on rare occasions and to close strategic-and-stable partners) but not used warships...

Oops - mis-read who the note was intended for.

Admiral King " The United States as has already been mentioned are agreeable to a ban on the selling of ships to foreign powers, however unless he is hiding I see no representative from the SAE here, therefore the nation to whom our Iberian friends are most concerned may simply buy from them. They have shown a willingness to sell to the highest bidder in the past regardless of that nations foreign policy record. Regarding capital ships, the US propses rather than a building holiday a replacement ratio of 2 old ships to 1 new, with the lifetime of capital ships extended to 25 years from their completion of construction."

Admiral King looks at Admiral Krancke's note, picks up a pen and jotes down "the United States and Iberia have many points of agreement on certain issues, a bilateral agreement is something the United States would find agreeable. Such an agreement remains up to our respective political masters though."
