For several days the Chinese navy harrassed the US Impeccable, a surveillance ship. At one point a Chinese ship came within 25 feet of the Impeccable and the US Impeccable was forced to use it's water hose to defend itself. Then the Chinese sailors exposed their bare asses to the US Impeccable.
I hope whoever was operating that water canon had good aim. GuardianThe exposure came as the American vessel USNS Impeccable was attempting to defend itself against what the Pentagon claimed was co-ordinated harassment and aggression from five Chinese ships. Being unarmed, the Impeccable turned its fire water hoses against two of the Chinese vessels that had come within 50 feet in a threatening posture.
Then, the Pentagon records in the admirably restrained language of international diplomacy, "the Chinese crew members disrobed to their underwear and continued closing to within 25 feet."[...]
According to the Pentagon, the targetting of the Impeccable came at the end of several days in which Chinese naval vessels had been stepping up their harassment in international waters.
