A U.S. aircraft carrier group sailed through the tense waters between
China and Taiwan after it was denied entry last week to a Hong Kong
port, the U.S. Navy said on Thursday.

The USS Kitty Hawk and eight accompanying ships passed through the
Taiwan Strait, seen as one of Asia's most dangerous flash points, on
their way back to Japan after China barred the carrier group from
entering the Hong Kong harbor for a long-planned visit, a spokesman
for the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii said.

"USS Kitty Hawk carrier strike group has transited the Taiwan Strait,"
Navy spokesman Shane Tuck said. "This was a normal navigational
transit of international waters, and the route selection was based on
operational necessity, including adverse weather."
