Chinese Vessel Attracts Indonesian Navy’s Attention
Indonesian Navy Deploys Ship to Monitor Chinese Ship
A Chinese survey vessel, the Haiyang Dizhi 10 has reportedly been in the South China Sea waters since August, however they’ve been drawing unwanted attention from other governments as they continue to cruise in an area that seems cause for concern.
On Sept 11 a U.S. aircraft carrier passed near the Chinese vessel in close enough proximity to announce its location to others in the area and then on Sept 13 the Indonesian Navy set out to the same location in efforts to continue to track the vessel.
As of Sept 15 both vessels are maintaining stays in the waters as the Indonesian Navy continues to monitor the Haiyang Dizhi 10 with them being close to Indonesia’s Natuna islands.
