The guided-missile destroyer Russell transited the Taiwan Strait this week, U.S. Navy officials said.
Russell conducted the transit on Thursday and Friday “in accordance with international law,†U.S. Pacific Fleet spokeswoman Lt. j.g. Rachel Maul said in an email. “The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows.
It was the second trip through the strait for a Navy warship in the past three weeks, as the McCampbell made the same trek on May 13, USNI News reported.
