China carried out ‘constructive kills’ near British Royal Navy vessels and even harassed an aircraft carrier as the ships crossed the disputed South China Sea. The ships sailed through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and visited Oman, Singapore, Australia, and Japan on their way. The ships crossed the disputed waters as part of the freedom of navigation exercise, which was to rebut China’s claim to the South China Sea and to assert the right to free passage through its waters.
