Submarine Torpedo Sinks Decommissioned US Ship During Multinational Pacific Drill

During the Valiant Shield exercise (June 22–July 1), a JMSDF submarine fired a torpedo at the decommissioned USS Juneau (LPD-10), sinking it about 200 nautical miles off the Mariana Islands. The Juneau, commissioned in 1969 and decommissioned in 2008, was used as a SINKEX target to train joint forces across sea, air, space, land and cyberspace; extensive environmental cleanup and safety checks were completed prior to sinking. Valiant Shield is a biennial multinational drill involving the U.S., Japan, Australia, Canada and New Zealand to build real-world maritime proficiency.

Navigating War and Trade: What International Law Says About the Strait of Hormuz

Navigating War and Trade: What International Law Says About the Strait of Hormuz

Peace-time transit through the Strait of Hormuz is a universal right as an international strait, but in armed conflict the San Remo Manual governs naval warfare: neutral ships may transit with due regard, belligerents must not target neutrals, and may search for contraband; convoys of merchant ships escorted by warships can be risky because cargo vessels may become targets if tied to belligerent ships, and a state's neutral status can shift if its actions pull it into the conflict (as with Australia’s stance potentially affecting its neutrality).
