Really, though … some country with aging naval ships should donate a few small, fast ships to Ukraine, right where they are, already in the open ocean.
“Sailors, your service contracts are being transferred. We will now teach the crew the Ukrainian National Anthem.”
Nah, don’t transfer the sailors, of course. Just spend a few months having them train the new Ukrainian crew how to operate the ship. (And also re-equipping the ship for its new mission – modern drone/cruise missile launchers, stealth/electronic warfare upgrades, missile defenses for survivability, speed upgrades if possible, etc.)

That takes too long, just sing one you know but say Ukraine instead of the original country name if it’s in the words.
