(Worthy News) – A Chinese warship came within 150 yards of hitting the USS Chung-Hoon on Saturday before crossing its bow a second time at closer to 2,000 yards while the U.S. destroyer was conducting joint exercises with Canada in the Taiwan Strait, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) confirmed.
The incident occurred as U.S.-Chinese tensions remain high in the South China Sea.
The Chinese ship “executed maneuvers in an unsafe manner,” overtaking the USS Chung-Hoon on its portside at 150 yards while the U.S. destroyer was sailing “through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply” with Canada’s HMCS Montreal, USINDOPACOM said in a release.
