A big presence in the area that makes
China think twice about doing anything aggressive.
It was reported that the United
States Navy Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Charleston (LCS 18)
arrived in the Philippines, Aug. 16, marking the first time a commissioned U.S.
Navy warship has visited the Philippines since 2019.

In consideration for COVID-19 safety mitigation, the visit was
contactless, meaning the crew of the ship remained aboard the ships, where they
were afforded rest and replenishment of supplies.
The visits come weeks after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s
engagement with Philippine defense officials, when the re-commitment was
announced to the U.S.-Philippines Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), which allows
U.S. forces to operate from the Philippines for bilateral military engagements
and in response to disasters or crisis.
“The U.S. security commitment to the Philippines is iron-clad, and that
commitment…extends to the South China Sea,” said Austin. “As we celebrate the
70th anniversary of the Mutual Defense Treaty this year, the commitment to our
security partnership with the Philippines is stronger than ever.”
The
routine port visit is a continuation of the relationship as treaty allies, and
furthers the friendship, partnership and alliance between the U.S. and the
Philippines. The U.S. routinely participates in 300 bilateral engagements a
year, from expert exchanges to ship visits, to component exercises and major
training exercises such as Balikatan, Southeast Asia Cooperation and Training (SEACAT),
and Maritime Training Activity (MTA) Sama Sama. These exercises signify joint
commitment to peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
“Our
U.S. Navy ships’ presence at sea and in ports like Manila promote security and
stability that drives the peace and prosperity for the benefit of regional
countries,” said Vice Adm. Karl Thomas, commander, U.S. 7th Fleet. “We
appreciate the flexibility to resupply our ships in the Philippines, so that
they are ready to support a free and open Indo-Pacific region.”
Under Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, 7th Fleet
is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely
interacts and operates with 35 maritime nations in preserving a free and open
Indo-Pacific region.
