US naval officers deny their fault in the dangerous rapprochement of the cruiser USS Chancellorsvill with the Russian large anti-submarine ship Peter Vinogradov, which occurred at 06.36 Moscow time in the East China Sea.



The incident occurred at a time when the American aircraft carrier group and a detachment of Russian Pacific Fleet ships moved in parallel courses at the junction of the Philippine and South China Seas.

According to the American side, presented by the representative of the US Seventh Fleet, Clayton Doss, everything happened exactly the opposite: the Russian warship made a dangerous maneuver against the American cruiser.

The American sailor claims that it was the Pyotr Vinogradov BOD that approached a dangerous distance to Chancellorsvill and the American ship was forced to make emergency maneuvers to avoid a collision.

The representative of the US Navy claims that the actions of Russian naval sailors were unprofessional, and the accusations against the warship of the United States were propaganda.

In conclusion, it should be noted that such incidents between ships of different countries occur quite regularly with varying degrees of exacerbation, but none of them has yet resulted in large-scale confrontation.
