SEOUL, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier was blocked
entry to the Jeju Navy base by a group of Kayak protesters on Thursday.

Some 200 civic activists in kayaks paddled out to the sea off the base to protest the
2018 International Fleet Review, interrupting the entry of the U.S. aircraft carrier.

The USS Ronald Reagan, one of the Navy's largest warships participating in the
naval event, has been rescheduled to enter Friday, according to a South Korean
Navy official, Munhwa Ilbo reported.

Not much in the way of pictures there. There was also a controversy earlier in the week with Japan having a "Rising Sun" type of flag on one of their ships. Controversial to the South Koreans, not to the USA that much.
