In addition to the "Queen Elizabeth", the 17 ships also include the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ronard Reagan", "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier and the Japanese Sea helicopter aircraft carrier.

According to the news released by the "South China Sea Strategic Situation Awareness" plan platform on October 4, the "Sentinel" satellite captured the British Navy's Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier entering the South China Sea through the Bashi Channel . Also appearing in the Bashi Channel was the CMV-22B carrier-based transport aircraft of the US Navy's USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. It is speculated that the "Carl Vinson" may have entered the South China Sea together.

On October 6, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier conducted takeoff and landing training in the South China Sea.

The official U.S. Pacific Fleet also confirmed that the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier had entered the South China Sea and carried out carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing training in the South China Sea for two consecutive days on October 5 and 6.

Regarding the activities of the US warship in the South China Sea, Colonel Tan Kefei, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, once said that as an extraterritorial country, the US side ignores the international law and the basic norms of international relations, often shows off its force and provoke trouble in the South China Sea under the guise of "freedom of navigation", constantly undermines the efforts of regional countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, and has become a direct driving force for tensions in the South China Sea.

Chinese Ministry of National Defense spokesman Colonel Wu Qian also said that with the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the current situation in the South China Sea has generally stabilized and improved. China respects the freedom of navigation enjoyed by ships of all countries in the South China Sea in accordance with international law, but firmly opposes that some countries have traveled thousands of miles to send warships to show their "presence". The Chinese military will take all necessary measures to respond resolutely and effectively.
