The US Navy vessel Wayne E. Meyer carried out operation ‘freedom of navigation’ near islands claimed by China in the South China Sea.
The US Navy vessel “Wayne E. Meyer”, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, carried out the operation, travelling within 12 nautical miles of Fiery Cross and Mischief Reefs, Commander Reann Mommsen, a spokeswoman for the Japan-based US Navy’s Seventh Fleet, said.
