Year is 1990
You are the LTTE naval commander , have been given additional resources amounting to several million 20 $$ and have covert cooperation of indian navy

How will you reform the LTTE naval forces , what other kinds of boats you will add?

What other tactics you will use ?

Any other suggestions ?
 
Buy a medium sized yacht and get flown to Monaco by the indian navy to pick it up, invest the rest in Swiss numbered accounts and party like a bunch of nihilistic murderous thugs are coming after after me.
 
Wiki suggests that the sea tigers failed in a central mission:

From March 2003 to October 2007, the Sri Lankan Navy destroyed ten of these vessels [off shore smuggling ships] in the Indian Ocean, crippling the LTTE's supply line.​

That'd be the mission: to preserve these line of supply against expected Sri Lankan naval capacities.

Go big, you need to get your Indian helpers to be tricked into or allow you get set up a incident where the Sri lankan navy fires unprovoked (maybe at night, must be in international water) at the Indian navy...... Preferably with somebody important for the Indian government on board who is them killed...... Say some low level but politically connected and liked government minister/MPs and 20 crew?

The Indians get very angry then smash the Sri lankan navy in response (sell it to the navy as a good way to show off defence power in a short victorious war and less suicidal than fighting Pakistan) and hopefully some land targets if not outright threaten the Sri lankan government sufficiently that they have to make peace?

those depot ships that LTTE had were unarmed merchant vessels , how about arming them so that sri lankan OPVs cannot sink them ?
