I ignore the entire Bay of Bengal.
My SOP is to send very large convoys with carrier and an air combat group as cover (including CAs) from Colombo to Rangoon instead. Some long range fighters from Burma welcome the large convoys with LR CAP and day goodbye the same way.
Losses incur mostly if I mess something up or if the port was bombarded at night.
The "Port something" on the Andaman Islands has to be secured for any maritime supply route to Rangoon and daylight air superiority over Rangoon with hordes of Hurricanes is a necessity, of course.
I can 100% ignore India.
