2025年3月28日，美國、日本與菲律賓三國在南海有爭議的黃岩島附近進行聯合海上演習，旨在提升危機應對能力並強化區域安全合作。 

此次名為「多邊海上合作行動」的演習中，菲律賓海軍巡防艦BRP Jose Rizal號、美國海軍驅逐艦USS Shoup號與日本海上自衛隊護衛艦JS Noshiro號進行了編隊航行和通訊協調。

演習期間，一艘中國護衛艦在遠處監視，並試圖靠近演習區域，但在菲律賓巡防艦的無線電警告下保持距離。

美國海軍中尉亞歷山大·霍瓦特（Alexander Horvath）表示：「我們在這裡是為了支持我們的盟友，並支持一個自由開放的印太地區。」 

這次聯合演習反映了三國在應對區域安全挑戰方面的合作日益深化，並強調了維護印太地區航行自由與開放的共同承諾。

US, Japan, and Philippines Conduct Joint Naval Exercises in Disputed South China Sea to Strengthen Regional Security Cooperation

On March 28, 2025, the United States, Japan, and the Philippines conducted joint naval exercises near the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, aiming to enhance crisis response capabilities and strengthen regional security cooperation. 

The exercise, named “Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity,” involved coordinated maneuvers and communication among the participating warships: the Philippine Navy frigate BRP Jose Rizal, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Shoup, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force frigate JS Noshiro.

During the drills, a Chinese frigate observed from a distance and attempted to approach the exercise area but maintained its distance after being warned off by the Philippine frigate via radio. 

U.S. Navy Lieutenant Alexander Horvath stated, “We are here to support our allies and support a free and open Indo-Pacific for everyone.” 

This joint exercise underscores the deepening cooperation among the three nations in addressing regional security challenges and highlights their collective commitment to maintaining freedom of navigation and openness in the Indo-Pacific region.
