The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group has entered the South China Sea.
The carrier strike group consists of USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11, the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG 52), Destroyer Squadron 23, and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Russell (DDG 59) and USS John Finn (DDG 113).
Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander, Carrier Strike Group 9 stated,
“After sailing through these waters throughout my 30-year career, it’s great to be in the South China Sea again, conducting routine operations, promoting freedom of the seas, and reassuring allies and partners,”
He added,
“With two-thirds of the world’s trade travelling through this very important region, it is vital that we maintain our presence and continue to promote the rules-based order which has allowed us all to prosper. While we miss visiting our allies and partners in the region in person, we’re grateful for all the opportunities we have to operate with them at sea.”
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, told reporters, responding to the presence of the carrier strike group,
“The United States frequently sends aircraft and vessels into the South China Sea to flex its muscles, this is not conducive to peace and stability in the region.”
