China rapidly expanding military assets in South China Sea, admiral says
(Worthy News) – China’s military increased both warship and warplane missions in the South China where two U.S. aircraft carriers recently conducted operations to bolster international rights to the seas there, the commander of a carrier strike group in the region said.
“Far more numbers,” said Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of the strike group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, in a briefing for reporters. “We’re seeing larger number of aircraft, larger number of ships available to the Chinese military and being utilized on a daily basis.”
Adm. Verissimo said the dual carrier operations mark the third time he has deployed to the sea since 2017, “and the number of forces we see in all domains has increased significantly.” [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
