"The American presence is very important. I think it's absolutely clear that we are in the South China Sea and we are acting," he said aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson.
As commander of the carrier strike group, the admiral said: "Pacific nations are maritime nations, deserving of a stable atmosphere."
“That's why we're here,” Admiral John Fuller stressed.
