The U.S. Navy will be sending its most sophisticated ships and aircraft to the Asia-Pacific region as it builds up its presence there.
Admiral Cecil Haney, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, said on Monday that under a policy recently outlined by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, 60 per cent of the Navy's fleet will be deployed to the Pacific by 2020.
‘It's not just numbers -- it's also what those platforms, what those units, bring to the table,’ Haney said.
The admiral cited as an example the Littoral Combat Ship, which can operate in shallower waters than other vessels. The Navy plans to begin deploying one of the ships to Singapore next year.
The EA-18G plane -- which can jam enemy air defenses and fly faster than the speed of sound -- is another. Haney said squadrons of these aircraft would be coming through the region.

God what a patronising advert. As if anyone believes the US Military are anything other than murderers and rapists. Global force for good my left arse cheek.
I really, really hope China steps out of the shadows and sinks any ship that dares to enter her waters.
