Say whatever you might, but something definitely is fishy here. This visit by a US carrier is not routine or out of goodwil but reeks of intention. Not on the backdrop of the "Ramar Sethu" that has become the centrepoint of a huge controversy at present. I remember a comment last week posted by some avid writer on this blog - "The said structure is not a bridge but natural formation of a material that is used in the Nuclear Processes." The visit by an American vessel may well have been undertaken in this interest i.e. the divers on board may secretly (or with undercover permission from the Govt. of India)go to the said spot for further investigation. As it is, the US is supporting the "Sethu Samudram Dredging Project." The deposits are well in their interest.
