The U.S. aircraft carrier Washington arrived in Manila Bay, the Philippines, for military training.

The USS Washington carrier strike group has arrived in Manila Bay, the Philippines! This is the first port visit of the USS Washington's summer cruise, aimed at rebuilding confidence in the Philippines! The USS Washington aircraft carrier conducted a series of takeoff and landing training exercises in the northeastern waters of the Scarborough Shoal, and uploaded the footage online. In addition, we have not reclamation of the Scarborough Shoal, also because the U.S. warships have been circling around for a long time.

If there are again nearby, it can't be fought yet, and it can't be reclaimed either. Therefore, the United States must keep watching the surrounding areas of the Scarborough Shoal 24 hours a day, almost all the time. Our maritime surveillance ships have always been patrolling nearby to drive away U.S. warships. In reality, without the United States, we would have already reclaimed the Scarborough Shoal. It is because the United States has been guarding the surrounding area of this island, which still has some deterrent power.

Additionally, the USS Washington carrier was originally prepared to meet with the British HMS Wales carrier in the South China Sea to cause trouble. However, it is unknown what happened to the British carrier fleet, which suddenly turned from the southern part of the South China Sea and quickly headed towards the coast of Australia. It may be that the British carrier fleet was subjected to certain pressures, so they had to leave quickly. There is no official explanation for this, and it may be declassified in a few years.

Now, the USS Washington carrier no longer has the courage or need to continue joint exercises, and just docking at the Manila port and conducting large-scale replenishment is enough. The United States now says that it has given enough face to the Philippines, which is a fact. Some Filipino individuals can also be allowed to visit the USS Washington carrier, which is a way to encourage and motivate the Filipinos.

Currently, in the East China Sea and the South China Sea regions, there is only one U.S. aircraft carrier strike group, and its strength is not that great, but it still has some remaining capabilities.
