US officials said the incident came after days of "increasingly aggressive" acts by Chinese ships.

These violated international law on respecting other users of the seas, a Pentagon spokesman said.

A protest was expected to be delivered to the Chinese military attache at the Pentagon on Monday.

The ships had "aggressively manoeuvred" around the USNS Impeccable "in an apparent co-ordinated effort to harass the US ocean surveillance ship while it was conducting routine operations in international waters", a Pentagon statement said.

The US ship sprayed the Chinese vessel with water from fire hoses to try to force it away, according to US officials.

But they said the Chinese crew stripped to their underwear and carried on approaching to within 25ft (8m).

No immediate response from the Chinese government was reported.

I lol'd

They stopped at the underwear because we all know the stereotype about the size of Chinese junk and they did not was to embarrass themselves.

And even at 25ft the Chinese had the anatomical appearance of a Ken doll.

Don't suppose you get skid marks when a ship does an emergency stop do you. Probably took 4 miles to stop aswell, taking 20 mins, hardly an emergency stop is it.

I like the fact that they sprayed water at a boat. If we learned anything from Pokemon, we should know that lightning is super effective against water.
