Seems like Shandong passed through Filipino territorial waters and they couldn't do shit about it.

Transiting through territorial waters is permitted under UNCLOS rule of innocent passage. For the same reason China must allow such transits in similar circumstances.

Article 19:

1. Passage of a foreign ship shall be considered to be prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State if in the territorial sea it engages in any of the following activitiesa) any threat or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of the coastal State, or in any other manner in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations;(b) any exercise or practice with weapons of any kind;(c) any act aimed at collecting information to the prejudice of the defence or security of the coastal State;(d) any act of propaganda aimed at affecting the defence or security of the coastal State;(e) the launching, landing or taking on board of any aircraft;(f) the launching, landing or taking on board of any military device;(g) the loading or unloading of any commodity, currency or person contrary to the customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations of the coastal State;(h) any act of wilful and serious pollution contrary to this Convention;(I) any fishing activities;(j) the carrying out of research or survey activities;(k) any act aimed at interfering with any systems of communication or any other facilities or installations of the coastal State;(l) any other activity not having a direct bearing on passage.

Underwater vehicles like submarines are required by the treaty to surface and show their flags during innocent passage

Images from carrier Shandong's last outing in July, during which it formed a strike group with a Type 075 LHD, two Type 055 DDGs, two Type 052D DDGs, two Type 054A FFGs, and a Type 901 fleet supply ship.

What a tremendous formation.

I wonder if the 075 is operating in an ASW role here.

 

[asif iqbal]

now that is what we call formation sailing

and you can bet your bottom dollar that there is a SSN below the waves

just shy of 200,000 tons of warship tonnage right there not many navies can do that

and best part is China can easily double that up with ease

even triple it with the 003

 

[pesoleati]

where is Liao Ning? What happened?

 

[Temstar]

where is Liao Ning? What happened?

Left port to dodge super typhoon Yagi, Hainan was pretty heavily hit. Incidentally that makes it the first time PLAN had 3 carriers at sea.

 

[test1979]

Wow, a veteran who is about to retire on the Liaoning claimed in an interview with CCTV that a new type of fighter jet other than the J-15 took off from the Liaoning.
I think he was talking about the J-35.
