U.S. Charges Chinese Ships of Aggressive Acts toward Unarmed Navy Vessel

The United States is preparing to file a complaint with China’s military attaché in Washington regarding the “aggressive” actions of five Chinese ships toward an unarmed U.S. navy vessel in the South China Sea.

According to reports the USNS Impeccable endured days of “increasingly aggressive” acts by the Chinese ships and those acts continued despite efforts from the U.S. crew to halt the aggression. The severity of the situation escalated and reached a serious stage on Sunday when, according to a Pentagon statement, “On March 8, 2009, five Chinese vessels shadowed and aggressively maneuvered in dangerously close proximity to USNS Impeccable, in an apparent coordinated effort to harass the U.S. ocean surveillance ship while it was conducting routine operations in international waters.”

In an act of defense the USNS Impeccable sprayed fire hoses at one of the ships but the Chinese crew were said to have disrobed and continued to close within 25 feet of the vessel. The Chinese ships demanded the navy vessel leave the area despite international laws that protected the U.S.’s right to travel the waters.

The Chinese government has not responded to the charges.
