Well unfortunatly, I have looked up additional information, and the USNS Victorious was tailed by a PLAN Frigate, and buzzed by a PLAAF aircraft a couple days prior to the events that occured with teh USNS Impeccable. And there is some arguement whether those were civilian ships, or actual PLAN ships, depending on what news source you listen to. Either way, the next planned outing, the US has announced will be escorted by a DDG.
Now this is a game of brinkmanship, woes going to step down first, who is going to relinquish the sea-lanes?
