Reported Indian Warships (Unidentified)
A cluster of unnamed naval warships reported by a Pentagon source: gray steel hulls, superstructures and mast arrays cutting a distant horizon. The mention compresses them into an image of operational movement — ships steaming in formation, decks and radar signatures implied rather than shown. Characters do not inspect or board them; instead reporters invoke their possible presence as a claim, and C.J. reacts to the allegation with dismissive laughter, treating the ships as a political rumor rather than confirmed material fact.

Purpose
Serve as maritime combat and force-projection platforms: transport troops, deploy naval firepower, conduct patrols and exert sea control during large-scale military movements.
Significance
Function as a narrative accelerant and credibility lever — the alleged warships transform a Pentagon tip into a potential international incident and create a credibility landmine for the administration when the press presses and the briefing is shut down.
