My comment:
() "As was heard on the first of several Chinese warning on the radio, the pilot of a Delta flight in the area spoke on the same frequency, quickly identifying himself as commercial. The voice on the radio then identified himself as "the Chinese Navy" and the Delta flight went on its way."
(i) Delta Air Lines, Inc (Commenced operation 1929; Headquarters Atlanta)
(ii) I am surprised that radars of China's navy could not tell the plane was an airliner, which is big, clumsy and slow.
(b) "Over Fiery Cross Reef 永暑礁 and, later, Mischief Reef 美济礁, fleets of dozens of dredgers could be seen hard at work, sucking sand off the bottom of the sea and blowing it in huge plumes to create new land above the surface, while digging deep harbors below."
