A US aircraft carrier and its strike group are now in the South China Sea in what could potentially become a tense standoff in hotly contested waters near Taiwan.
Speaking to Insider on Wednesday night, US Navy spokesperson Mark Langford confirmed that the vessels were on the move and operating in the South China Sea.
The aircraft carrier departed Singapore after making a scheduled port visit on July 22.
According to Langford, the carrier is "continuing normal, scheduled operations as part of her routine patrol in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
The news comes less than a day after a report emerged about the Pentagon's preparations to protect Speaker Nancy Pelosi with fighter jets and ships if she were to visit Taiwan.
Pelosi was scheduled to travel to the island in April. However, the trip was postponed after she tested positive for COVID-19.
Per The Financial Times, Pelosi is tentatively set to visit the island in August.
Meanwhile, China warned this week of a possible military response if Pelosi's trip took place.

Chinese CURSE....”May you live in interesting times”.
Hey, you Navy guys, how long would a scheduled port visit be? How much shore time? What kind of duties would you have during a scheduled port visit?
Can you land on a destroyer if it identifies as a carrier?
“What the hell does it cost to mobilize a carrier fleet?!?!”
Carrier fleets are mobilized at all times.
They have no reason to worry about any of that. Who is going to investigate or prosecute any Democrat corruption?
Exactly
"Look at meeeeeeee!"
“maybe she has a safe deposit box over there”
Bank of Malta right next to Roberts.
She should be worth at least 3 cringe moments that compromise our foreign policy (such as it is) on this trip. Ugh.
I would say that I hope she stays, but that’s really unfair to Taiwan.
Demented leadership creates an unstable world.
The US government is run by a bunch of children playing with matches. They are absolute dolts and have no idea what they might cause. Unbelievable.
Only if you identify as a helicopter.
World War IV should provide a nice distraction ahead of the midterms / shiny side out
