A nice report (with great pics) of the Corsican Lion exercise, of British and French navies and their Combined Joint Expeditionary Force:

IN should take a good look at it, especially at the helicopter carriers and the fact that once can form joint defence forces in certain areas, without one navy beeing responsible alone.
IN for instance could form joint patrol groups with Oman on the one side, Malaysia, Indonesia or Singapore on the other side, to fight piracy in the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal up to the Straight of Malacca. These countries are modernising their naval fleets as well and would form good partners for IN, which still would have the lead.
One could also think about a joint amphibious force for disaster relief missions, or ASW, since some of them are procuring LDPs and subs in future as well.
