The U.S. Navy has conducted the first freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) of 2020 in the South China Sea.
USS Montgomery (LCS 8) Independence-variant littoral combat ship carried it out.


The U.S 7th Fleet statement said ,
"The unilateral imposition of any authorization or notification requirement for innocent passage is not permitted by international law, so the United States challenged these requirements. By engaging in innocent passage without giving notification or asking for permission, the United States challenged the unlawful restrictions imposed by China, Vietnam, and Taiwan. The United States demonstrated that innocent passage may not be subject to such restrictions.”

China deployed naval and air forces to track USS Montgomery.
Senior Col. Li Huamin, a spokesperson for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command, said in a statement, “The Chinese military is determined to safeguard national sovereignty and security as well as maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, no matter what tricks are played by U.S. ships,”
