But here is the Alternate headline: 🇩🇪 Warship sails on the high seas via an international strait where international law clearly allows.A German naval frigate and a supply ship each sailed through the Taiwan Strait from north to south today. During this period, #ROCArmedForces maintained full control over our surrounding sea and airspace, and the situation remained normal.

This second DDG will deploy from the west coast and join the Norfolk-based USS Gravely that set sail Saturday. military.com/daily-news/202…
