"US Navy"

The head of the US Navy will visit his Chinese counterpart next week, officials said Friday, as the two powers seek to reduce military risks amid ongoing trade tensions.

Two US Navy ships sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday, the third such operation this year and one that is sure to anger China.

The US military said it had launched a search and rescue operation after reports a marine may have fallen overboard from an American warship as it sailed through Philippine waters.

Rescuers plucked eight people to safety Wednesday south of Japan after a US Navy aircraft with 11 people on board came down in the Philippine Sea, the latest accident to hit American armed forces in East Asia.

Putrajaya, Malaysia - Malaysia is leading the search and rescue operation for 10 American sailors who are missing after a US missile destroyer and merchant ship collided, says the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA).

Washington - The US Navy announced a fleet-wide global investigation on Monday after the latest in a series of accidents left another 10 sailors missing and five more injured.
