American warships sent to South Pacific Ocean as Chinese Navy circles Australia​

A US warship has been deployed in the South Pacific Ocean as Chinese naval ships continue to circumnavigate Australia.

USS Shiloh, a US Navy missile-armed cruiser, visited the capital of French Polynesia, Papeete, on February 27.
