'Keep out!': China sent 6 warnings to a US Navy plane, but the US didn't back down

  • China sent six warnings to a US Navy plane operating in the South China Sea on Friday, ordering the American crew to "leave immediately and keep out."
  • The US Navy aircraft stayed the course, insisting that it was within its legal rights.
  • The incident followed a report from the Philippine government revealing that China had been sending out threatening radio queries to foreign ships and planes at an increased frequency.

Chinese forces deployed to the hotly contested South China Sea ordered a US Navy reconnaissance aircraft to "leave immediately" six times Friday, but the pilot stayed the course, refusing to back down.

A US Navy P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance plane flew past China's garrisons in the Spratly Islands, giving CNN reporters aboard the aircraft a view of Chinese militarization in the region.

Flying over Chinese strongholds on Mischief Reef, Johnson Reef, Fiery Cross Reef, and Subi Reef, CNN spotted "large radar installations, power plants, and runways sturdy enough to carry large military aircraft." At one outpost, onboard sensors detected 86 vessels, including Chinese Coast Guard ships, which China has been known to use to strong-arm countries with competing claims in the South China Sea.

Lt. Lauren Callen, who led the US Navy crew, said it was "surprising to see airports in the middle of the ocean."

The Chinese stationed in the area were not exactly kind hosts to the uninvited guests.

Warning the aircraft that it was in Chinese territory — an argument an international arbitration tribunal ruled against two years ago — the Chinese military ordered the US Navy plane to "leave immediately and keep out to avoid any misunderstanding."

Six warnings were issued, according to CNN, and the US Navy responded the same every time.

"I am a sovereign immune US naval aircraft conducting lawful military activities beyond the national airspace of any coastal state," the crew replied, adding, "In exercising these rights guaranteed by international law, I am operating with due regard for the rights and duties of all states."

Friday's incident comes on the heels of a report by the Philippine government revealing that China has been increasingly threatening foreign ships and planes operating in the South China Sea.

"Leave immediately," Chinese forces in the Spratlys warned a Philippine military aircraft earlier this year, according to the Associated Press. "I am warning you again, leave immediately or you will pay the possible consequences," the voice said over the radio.

The US Navy has noticed an increase in such queries as well.

"Our ships and aircraft have observed an increase in radio queries that appear to originate from new land-based facilities in the South China Sea," Cmdr. Clay Doss, a representative for the US 7th Fleet, told the AP, adding, "These communications do not affect our operations"

Of greater concern for the US military are recent Chinese deployments of military equipment and weapons systems, such as jamming technology, anti-ship cruise missiles, and surface-to-air missiles. While the US has accused China of "intimidation and coercion" in the disputed waterway, Beijing argues it is the US, not China, that is causing trouble in the region.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has yet to comment on Friday's exchange between the Chinese military and the US Navy.


Milcom Field Report Jack Metcalfe in KY: August 9-10, 2018

Another field Report from our good friend Jack Metcalfe in KY. Thanks Jack for sharing.

8032.0 US Military stations LIGHTHOUSE & PENGUIN, doubling as they called each other. LIGHTHOUSE looking for aircraft that have checked in with unid station: 1454 UTC in USB voice 09AUG18 (JLM)

8032.0 US Military station LIGHTHOUSE now advising any aircraft attempting to call LIGHTHOUSE on (VHF Air frequency), to switch to (VHF Low frequency) & if no joy there, contact STEEL GATE. LIGHTHOUSE HQ also heard calling "any station this net": 1508 UTC in USB voice 09AUG18 (JLM)

7821.0 ANDVT transmission & a strong one at that: 1509 UTC in USB 09AUG18 (JLM)

8038.5 US Military station (probable helo) R08431 calling & linking with B7770 in USB ALE. R08431, who had earlier identified in voice as AIR TEST, asked GROUND TEST (B7770) what tail number he was seeing for AIR TEST in the ALE link. GROUND TEST replied "R08431", AIR TEST acknowledged that & said he'd be back in contact shortly. 1520 UTC in USB voice & ALE 09AUG18 (JLM)

7815.5 ANDVT transmission & another strong signal. Might have been on 7815.4 or 7815.6, but not enough time to make that determination: 1525 UTC in USB 09AUG18 (JLM)

6200.0 BAT calling TM1 & TM3. All stations unid for me: 0029-0216 UTC in USB ALE 10AUG18 (JLM)

3345.0 R23970, UH-60A#84-23970, 1-131st Avn, AL ArNG, Dannelly Field, Montgomery, AL (Thanks Ron!) sounding. I don't think I've seen NG helo activity here before. Also sounding on 9122.5 The US Army COE has used both 3345.0 & 9122.5 in the past & continues to use 9122.5: 0039-0040 UTC in USB ALE 10AUG18 (JLM)

Three Aircraft Carriers to Change Homeports

From Commander, Naval Air Forces Public Affairs
The U.S. Navy announced Aug. 2 that three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) will conduct homeport shifts.
USS Abraham Lincoln, currently located in Norfolk, Virginia, will rejoin the Pacific Fleet, making San Diego its homeport. Abraham Lincoln, commissioned in 1989, previously served in the Pacific Fleet from 1990-2011 before moving to Norfolk for midlife refueling.
The other two carrier homeport shifts are tied to carrier maintenance. John C. Stennis, currently homeported in Bremerton, Washington, will change homeports to Norfolk in advance of its midlife refueling, or reactor complex overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding. John C. Stennis was commissioned in 1995; Nimitz-class carriers are built to last 50 years.

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) will conduct a homeport change to Bremerton in advance of its docking-planned incremental availability (DPIA) at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
