The U.K. Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth is underway in the South China, Sea while the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy flattop Shandong is also in these waters, though the two ships look to be sailing on opposite sides of the disputed body of water, at least for now. The appearance of the British flagship in the South China Sea had been anticipated, but it still carries a significant message as the United Kingdom, and its allies look to further challenge China’s expansive territorial claims in this region.
