Man our ship and bring her to life.
00:04
The USS Gabrielle Giffords, seen here in Texas in 2017,
00:09
is what the US Navy calls an independence-class
00:12
littoral combat ship, which means
00:15
it can operate closer to shorelines than other warships.
00:20
And on Monday, China's military claimed
00:22
the Gabrielle Giffords illegally entered waters
00:25
adjacent to a disputed South China Sea atoll that has
00:29
recently seen several maritime confrontations.
00:32
A Chinese spokesperson said, quote,
00:33
"The US seriously undermined regional peace and stability,"
00:37
adding that the US disrupted the South China Sea
00:40
and violated China's sovereignty.
00:43
China is in disputes with several of its neighbors
00:46
over its extensive claims of territorial waters
00:48
in the South China Sea.
00:50
The US Navy said the USS Gabrielle Giffords
00:52
was conducting routine operations
00:54
in international waters in the South China Sea,
00:57
consistent with international law.
01:00
The Chinese military spokesperson
01:01
said the US ship was monitored and followed.
01:05
The US Navy responded, quote, "We will not
01:06
be deterred from continuing to work alongside our allies
01:09
and partners in support of our shared vision
01:12
for a free and open Indo-Pacific."
01:16
In recent months, China has had several run-ins
01:18
with Philippine vessels in the South China Sea.
01:21
Over the weekend, the Philippine Coast Guard
01:23
shared this video it says shows hundreds
01:25
of Chinese maritime militia vessels
01:27
gathering near a reef within Manila's
01:30
exclusive economic zone.
01:31
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Monday
01:34
called the Chinese vessels' behavior, quote,
01:35
"responsible and lawful," and castigated the Philippines
01:39
for what it said were, quote, "irresponsible remarks."
