This time, the US military showed a new tactical maneuver in the South China Sea for the first time, leaving the South China Sea through the Philippine Barabak Strait and entering the Philippine Sulu Sea, but it did not enter the Philippine Sea, but bypassed the Philippine island of Palawan and re-entered the South China Sea from the waterway on the north side of Palawan Island. For the first time, the US aircraft carrier used the Philippine island of Palawan as a cover to hide in the Sulu Sea to implement a strategic deterrent in the South China Sea; on the one hand, it could avoid being hit by China's naval and air forces, and on the other hand, it could send carrier-based aircraft to fly over Philippine airspace to strike at the Nansha Islands and deter the security of the Nansha Islands.

From October 24, the US aircraft carrier USS Carvinson and the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga entered the South China Sea and began a new round of tactical provocation. As of November 6, the U.S. aircraft carrier is still in the South China Sea, located in the southeast of Scarborough Shoal, near the Coast of the Philippines.

This time, the US military showed a new tactical maneuver in the South China Sea for the first time, leaving the South China Sea through the Philippine Barabak Strait and entering the Philippine Sulu Sea, but it did not enter the Philippine Sea, but bypassed the Philippine island of Palawan and re-entered the South China Sea from the waterway on the north side of Palawan Island.
It is very close to Scarborough Shoal, with a straight-line distance of only 300 to 400 kilometers, within the strike radius of THE US carrier-based aircraft, and there are Philippine islands as cover to avoid being hit by our anti-ship missiles.
The tactical maneuver of the US aircraft carrier embodies three points: First, for the first time, with the help of the Philippine island of Palawan as a cover, hiding in the Sulu Sea to implement strategic deterrence in the South China Sea, on the one hand, it can avoid being hit by Our side's naval and air forces, and on the other hand, it can send carrier-based aircraft to fly over Philippine airspace to strike at the Spratly Islands and deter the security of the Nansha Islands. Second, after the US aircraft carrier crosses the Sulu Sea in the north, it can re-enter the South China Sea from the northern waterway and directly attack Dongsha and Huangyan Island.

Third, the US military has demonstrated its determination to fight in the South China Sea, and once there is a confrontation between China and the United States, then these tactical solutions of the US military will obviously be used in the South China Sea, after all, relevant exercises have been carried out in peacetime. The Observatory think tank believes that the US military's war simulation in the South China Sea is to prepare for future operations in the South China Sea, and the tactics of using Palawan Island as a cover to threaten the Nansha Dongsha are still the first to be discovered.
It is worth noting that this time the US aircraft carrier formation has Japan's Kaga helicopter carrier, which shows that if the PLA's anti-ship missiles want to strike the US aircraft carrier, then the Japanese Self-Defense Force's helicopter carrier will also fight together, that is, the combat object becomes the United States and Japan, and even the Philippines will be involved in the war. The US military has expanded the target of war, making the already fierce environment of the countries and regions in the South China Sea more dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may wipe your guns and turn into a local naval battle.
