Is this the next hot spot? šŸ˜®

ABOARD BRP SINDANGAN -- The Philippines will not allow China to remove a Philippine military outpost in a fiercely disputed South China Sea shoal, a navy official said Wednesday, a day after four Filipino navy personnel were injured in a confrontation between Chinese and Philippine ships.

Philippine officials summoned a Chinese Embassy diplomat in Manila to convey a strong protest over the confrontation Tuesday off Second Thomas Shoal. A small Filipino navy contingent has stood guard on a long-marooned warship that has served as an outpost in the shoal since the 1990s.

      How sexual harassment and the shipyard crippled a Navy warship

      How can this happen on a Navy ship? By the time the junior officer emailed her peers in March 2022, reminding them to do their jobs and protect their sailors from each other, the men and women of the Navy destroyer Bulkeley had suffered through a rough couple of years. The warship had entered a maintenance and modernization stint in March 2019 that was expected to last 15 months. But Bulkeley didnā€™t leave the Virginia shipyard until June 2021, more than two years later.
