2:00 PM - 3:15 PM EST

Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) transits the East China Sea during routine underway operations on Sunday Aug 28 2022. Chancellorsville is forward-deployed to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific, U.S Navy said in a statement. Two United States Navy warships - guided-missile cruisers USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville - have entered the Taiwan Strait in what is the first US naval transit in the waterway since US-China tensions spiked this month over a visit to the island by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The warships were on Sunday Aug 28, 2022 making the voyage through the Taiwan Strait waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law, the US 7th Fleet in Japan said in a statement. The Chinese military's Eastern Theater Command said it was monitoring the two ships, maintaining a high alert and was ready to thwart any provocation. (U.S. Navy via EYEPRESS)
