Watch out, Xi! UK sends in Royal Navy to South China Sea to join forces with US and Japan.
BRITAIN is sending its Carrier Strike Group to Asia in a "confident but not confrontational manner", Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said.
The £3 billion warship, with eight RAF F35B stealth fighter jets on board, will be accompanied by six Royal Navy ships, a submarine, 14 naval helicopters and a company of Royal Marines.
The CSG, which will carry out visits to India, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, will include the US destroyer USS The Sullivans and the Dutch frigate HNLMS Evertsen.
A squadron of 10 US Marine Corps F35B Lightning II jets will also be embarked on the carrier.
The Ministry of Defence described it as the "largest concentration of maritime and air power to leave the UK in a generation".
Speaking at the conference this morning, Mr Wallace said the CSG is going to Japan in a “confident but not confrontational manner".
He said it would include transits of the South China Sea, East China Sea and Philippine Sea.
Mr Wallace added that HMS Queen Elizabeth will participate in a three-carrier exercise in the Pacific Ocean.
It comes amid ongoing tensions in the disputed region of the South China Sea.
Beijing makes sweeping claims of sovereignty over the South China Sea but surrounding countries and the US disagree.
Speaking in April, Mr Wallace said: "When our CSG sets sail next month, it will be flying the flag for Global Britain - projecting our influence, signalling our power, engaging with our friends and reaffirming our commitment to addressing the security challenges of today and tomorrow.

opponent is digging their own grave, you don't fight him for the shovel" Ego is the most expensive thing in life.

China’s DF26 up to 3000Km range. US Carrier strike group range 500Km = lots of US/UK sailors not coming home.
Russia’s Zircon Hypersonic anti-ship missile system, mach 6, virtually unstoppable.
In the Falklands the RN had 22 of it’s ships damaged or sunk, against a 3rd World navy. Project this against China and Russia today?
