From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 17): Defense dept says unaware of US underwater drone in South China Sea mapping
Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Saturday they are unaware that the US has been using an underwater drone in its oceanographic survey of the South China Sea.
He made the statement when asked about his reaction on the incident involving the People's Republic of China's seizure of a US underwater drone, some 50 nautical miles northwest off Subic Bay, Zambales.
"None. That is between the US and China. And we did not know the US is using one in SCS (South China Sea)," Lorenzana said.
The incident took place Thursday night as the USNS Bowditch was about to retrieve the underwater drone.
