The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group joined Philippine and Japanese vessels in the South China Sea over the weekend in what was Washington’s largest show of force near Scarborough Shoal in years, following a series of maritime incidents between China and allied nations in the region.

U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68), and destroyers USS Wayne Meyer (DDG-108), USS Gridley (DDG-101) and USS Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG-123), were joined by Japanese destroyer JS Akebono (DD 108), Philippine Navy flagship BRP Jose Rizal (FF 150) and frigate BRP Antonio Luna (FF 151), and Philippine Coast Guard cutters BRP Melchora Aquino (MRRV 9702) and BRP Cape San Agustin (MRRV 4408) for a two-day joint patrol and exercises in the South China Sea.
