US Navy ship stuck in Tubbataha: Why there? | Inquirer Global Nation

US Navy ship stuck in Tubbataha: Why there? | Inquirer Global Nation: A US Navy warship that ran aground on the Tubbataha Reefs Thursday did not coordinate with local authorities about its passage, something that the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said was contrary to the protocol among foreign and local ships crossing the waters near the World Heritage Site in the Sulu Sea.
“Why were they even near Tubbataha? The Sulu Sea is so vast, and it takes 10 hours from Puerto Princesa to reach it. Why couldn’t they see it when they had all the state-of-the-art maps and navigation systems?” said Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, WWF-Philippines vice chairman and chief executive officer.
