U.S. Navy Deploys 4 Destroyers to Alaska Coast Amidst Chinese and Russian Naval Presence

The U.S. Navy has deployed four destroyers to the coast of Alaska in response to the presence of 11 Chinese and Russian warships patrolling nearby international waters. The joint operation between China and Russia is considered "unprecedented" by Senator Dan Sullivan, and while U.S. officials state that the patrol is not a threat, it highlights the close proximity of the countries to Alaska and the growing military cooperation between China and Russia.
