The U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet said the guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit on Tuesday in accordance with international law.
As the U.S. Navy asserts its presence in the South China Sea, Taiwan’s leader says its ties with Washington remain solid over the transition from the Trump to the Biden administration.
A retired 7th Fleet CPO and a former reservist stationed at Lemoore were indicted by a federal grand jury in Fresno last week on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft.
“The Russian Federation's statement about this mission is false. USS John S. McCain was not ‘expelled’ from any nation's territory," the 7th Fleet said.
