Turkey would like to offer Romania the use of Turkish drydocks to scrap these vessels. The Turks could discuss the terms of the recovered materials percentage cut. Why lose such valuable materials?

Both nations could benifit from such a deal.

India will offer to scrap both destroyers at its drydock in Male, with the proceeds split equally between India and Romania.

It should be noted that India generally has a few slipways lying idle at any one time. If Romania finds it lacks the infrastructure necessary to meet its requirements, it can contact India about possible contracting opportunities.

In a document the Chinese Ambassador in Romania, Pu Ming ,offers to scrap both destroyers far away in China.

Perhaps China would take up also the two destroyers to its navy and pay a fair price for both.

The Ambassador would be very pleased if Romania would decide for China.

Just don't deliver them during hurricane season...

(The Philippines wiped out this particular class in a hurry - they're structually unsound for blue-water work (cross-sectional strength below 0.50). These two had just been refit before that discovery was made - when one of the class sunk in a typhoon - and, as such, were sold to Romania which would use them in the Black Sea without fear of serious storms...)

If they go by way of the Pacific (or the Atlantic for that matter) there is a chance of interception by certain types of benefators willing to gain said vessels for the scrap they will generate on the market to put towards other projects.
