UAE seeking assistance in setting up submarine arm.
There must be a lot of submarines in the Persian Gulf. I venture one could walk the length of that body of water by stepping from hull to hull.
This is probably just as much a move for the benefit of the United States as it is for the UAE. The United States is building up India as a means to contain China and using the UAE to contain Iran and possibly Saudi Arabia.
