    So news broke there last week that the USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with a merchant ship. 10 Sailors have are missing.

    This is the 4th incident this year (According to RTE news) involving the US Navy ships colliding with Civilian shipping traffic.

    https://www.rte.ie/news/2017/0823/899390-us-navy/

    USS Fitzgerald, almost sank off the coast of Japan after colliding with a Philippine container ship on 17 June
    USS Antietam ran aground near Yosuka, Japan
    USS Champlain collided with a South Korean fishing vessel in May

    And now the US Navy have relieved the Admiral in charge of the 7th Fleet. (Joseph Aucoin)

    The US claim they are "helping to protect freedom of navigation" in the Area.

    However to me it looks more like that US is bullying/harassing Civilian traffic in the area.
    OR
    Something else it going on, It's to coincidental.

    This isn't happening anywhere else in the world, so why is it happening here all of a sudden?
    Is this to do with NK or China's claim on the entire South China Sea?

    The commander of the 7th fleet has been dismissed. Clearly it's all part of a massive conspiracy :rolleyes:
