The supposedly new sub. Don't you think the 81 symbol on the flag a bit weired?

This law:
No idea what was the aim of the exercise but knowing that there was an AEGIS equipped destroyer, an ant aircraft and ASW competent destroyer plus an aircraft carrier (not yet per se, but will be next year) I think that an answer is pretty easy - it's an aircraft carrier with escorts. And I've known that Kaga was in the area as it visited Kagoshima recently. Her homeport is Kure. It's not like she's around Okinawa 24/7/365. It seems like there's a clear coincidence between training and Chinese (supposedly?) submarine. I'm only baffled that submarine's CO deiced to take the passage he did and risked becoming famous with all of the newspapers in the region writing about him instead of going a few miles south which would save him from this 'privilage'.

By UNCLOS anyone is free to sail in the 12-24 nautical miles contiguous zone which is where this submarine sailed. So I have to ask again: what international law does it violated?
Kriss is actually right. You are confusing territorial sea with contiguous zone.
