U.S. Navy and Chinese War ships performed together in a rare training exercise last week in the waters off the coast of the Philippines.

Amid recent tension over the East China Sea where china sent fighter jets to the disputed island last February. It's nice to see this was a joint exercise and not war.

The exercise included Both Chinese and U.S. Helicopters, Aircraft carriers and naval vessels.
Two warships from the United States and five warships from China.

All In preparation for the 2016 Rim of the Pacific multinational naval exercise. Which begins June, 30th, and will bring 26 different countries together for a massive military drill. Which the DoD was considering UN-inviting China earlier in March. Both Countries expressed that the two hour exercise went well and was successful congratulating each other. And both Militaries continued sailing for Hawaii for the international drill in formation.
