A fleet of four ships from China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) was recently photographed cruising towards a US Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near Alaska’s the Aleutian Islands, according to the US Coast Guard.
The move comes as China continues to protest the passage of the US Navy and allied ships through disputed South China Sea waterways.
The voyage was revealed by the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website of the US military.
It released photos of the US coastguard “shadowing” Chinese ships as they passed through US seas.
US defence website The Drive reported the images were shot between August 29 and 30 but were released only recently by the US government’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS).
“The PLAN task force includes a guided-missile cruiser, a guided-missile destroyer, a general intelligence vessel, and an auxiliary vessel,” according to the original caption given by DVIDS, according to The Drive.
