They might consider selling them Littoral Combat Ships an act of war after they try them out.

THey might be considering the LCS, if they have completely lost their senses

Holland OPV

Similar size to LCS, quarter to third the cost, built of heavy grade steel. Like the LCS it lauches boats from door below flight deck. Like the LCS capable of operating in low intensity environments. (But for dealing with boat swarm carries, in addition to the 50cals, a 30mm auto cannon - with that you only have to touch them once)

Like the LCS, it is also totally incapable of ASW or counter-mine operations.

And built by Dutch firm Damen, who have a shipyard in Vietnam.
