Interesting article on Time.com regarding American naval assets in the Pacific targeting China and Beijing’s growing military presence in the Pacific. And, considering several incidents between American and Chinese naval vessels in 2009, the Tomahawk and Special Forces-carrying Ohio-class submarines appearing in the Pacific and Indian Oceans on July 4 (Good touch there, Pentagon planners!) this quiet, yet visible show of American naval power is a good reminder to the Beijing regime not to take America lightly. It is also a good message to American friends in the Pacific and East Asia that U.S. naval power is in the neighborhood.
