U.S. Sends Coast Guard and Weapons Carriers to Help Manila Overcome China's Illegal Fishing


US Navy sends coast guard and arms carrier to help philippine sea from china illegal fishing boats. The u.s has blasted illegal fishing by china in the pacific, vowing to deploy a new generation of fast-response boats in the region.

The u.s has decided to deploy its coast guard after accusing beijing of foul play in the south china sea, in waters beijing sees as belonging to china. Tensions between the two nations have been growing in recent months.

The united states has said it would deploy coast guard ships in the western pacific for maritime security missions, citing illegal fishing and vessel harassment from china. 

On 30 may, maritime prepositioning ships squadron 3, MP SRON 3, coastal riverine group 1, helicopter sea combat squadron 25 and u.s coast guard sector guam refined some of their operational skills during joint service training near Guam april 14-18.

Integration amongst diverse u.s navy and joint capabilities strengthened readiness and deterrence against regional aggression supporting a free and open indo-pacific. These drills helped enhance proficiency in ship handling and tactical fleet integration in preparation for contingency operations, said Capt. John Bubb Commodore of MP SRON 3.

 the multi-group sail exercises consisted of close quarter turns, evasion tactics and formation steaming. participating units including MP SRON 3 USNS Bobo (T-AK-3008), USNS Montford Point, USNS Watkins (T-AKR-315) and USNS Red Cloud (T-AKR-313) also practiced nighttime signal communications and convoy operations.

This valuable training increases interoperability among ships in the squadron and prepares them to work with other u.s navy assets and escorts, said bub.

MSC maritime sealift command integration with fleet units is necessary to successfully execute a variety of taskings. It's also critical to executing MP SRON 3's mission of enabling the force from the sea by providing swift and effective transportation of vital equipment and supplies for designated operations.

MP SRON 3 Oversees a number of ships that provide a float-prepositioned u.s military cargo to the u.s marine corps, the u.s army and the u.s air force throughout the indo-pacific region.

meanwhile the philippines has drastically stepped up its patrols in the south china sea recently and came into closer contact with the china coast guard, according to ship tracking data.

The philippines protested china's incessant deployment, prolonged presence and illegal activities around thitu island in the south china sea, the latest manifestation of lingering tensions between the nations.

"The southeast asian country is demanding china withdraw maritime assets and fishing vessels, the department of foreign affairs said in a twitter post on saturday. The island it refers to as pagasa is an integral part of the philippines over which it has sovereignty and jurisdiction," the department said.

Tensions in the disputed waters have escalated in the past month with manila repeatedly protesting and demanding that chinese vessels leave areas etc within its jurisdiction. China has deployed more ships, despite the philippines repeated calls.

The Philippines has also objected to china's fishing moratorium in the south china sea, saying the annual fishing ban extends far beyond china's legitimate entitlements under the united nations convention on the law of the sea.

The South China Sea has been a regional flashpoint in asia, involving territorial disputes between some countries and china. The Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam are among the countries that lay claim to parts of the waterway, but China sees much of the area including the spratly islands and scarborough shoal as part of its territory.
