Interesting. I'm not sure I get his point. He seems not to be up on where things stand today. There is already massive cooperation between Nato and other navies including Australia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. Not sure there is much more to do. That Constellation frigate he describes? He might have mentioned that it is an Italian design. The Navy's newest helicopter is also designed in Italy. The Navy's newest surface strike missile is Norwegian. About a dozen countries collaborate on the Sea Sparrow program. US Aegis radar and missile systems are used by Australia, Japan and Spain. South Korea is looking to buy into the US naval shipbuilding industry. Lots of cooperation.
