Hand out photo dated May 30, 2020 of The Arleigh-burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) conducts a replenishment at sea training evolution alongside the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Two US aircraft carriers have carried out drills in the South China Sea, a US Navy spokesman said Saturday, after the Pentagon expressed concerns over Chinese military exercises around a disputed archipelago. The USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan conducted dual carrier operations in the waterway to "support a free and open Indo-Pacific," the spokesman said. China's expanding military presence in the contested waters has worried several of its neighbours. U.S. Navy photo by Lt. j.g. Samuel Hardgrove via ABACAPRESS.COM
