Powerful picture-perfect presence....

SOUTH CHINA SEA (October 6, 2019) -- United States Navy ships -- including nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) (top image, left), amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4) (right), and their cruiser/destroyer escorts – conduct formation steaming, shiphandling and breakaway maneuvers during a routine maritime patrol in these increasingly volatile waters.

That dashed red line surrounding most of the South China Sea is the area claimed by China as its own....in violation of every maritime law, rule and tradition. China seeks to control the vital sea trade routes through the region.

                                           *          *          *          *

A take on the old axiom “possession is 9/10 of the law” applies here….where “presence is 9/10 of law.” Just being there, and operating normally, sends a subtle, yet powerful, message to the aggressive and threatening Chinese military in the region: “Back off!”

USS Antietam (CG 54), right, and JS Teruzuki (DD-116) steam in formation in the Philippine Sea. by Official U.S. Navy Page Via Flickr: PHILIPPINE SEA (May 12, 2022) The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54), right, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) destroyer JS Teruzuki (DD-116) steam in formation with the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during a bilateral exercise. The U.S. Navy and JMSDF routinely conduct naval exercises together, strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance and maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
