tensions in the South China Sea!! The US nuclear aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson docks in Singapore

The United States (US) nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson, docked in Singapore in a show of military force. The maneuvers of the American aircraft carrier in neighboring Indonesia come amid China and the Philippines’ feud over disputed waters in the South China Sea. US Navy ships visit Singapore, a close partner in the Southeast Asia region, from time to time, and officials describe the visits as part of “routine daily global operations”.
