US Navy sends littoral combat ships to ‘bolster attack strength in the South China Sea’ The US Navy is strengthening its presence in the South China Sea by deploying two Independence-class ships specializing in nearshore operations.
This deployment of the littoral combat ships suggested that the US strategy had switched from reconnaissance and deterrence to increasing its attack capability.
The USS Gabrielle Giffords left Singapore’s Changi naval base on a mission on November 15, according to ship-tracking information, while the USS Montgomery conducted a joint operation with two Australian warships between November 6 and 12.
