Several naval vessels, including the Dutch frigates HNLMS Van Amstel and HNLMS Tromp, and the British ships HMS Spey, HMS PWLS, and HMS Audacious, have been spotted in various locations such as Yokohama, Japan, Devonport, and Portsmouth. The Dutch warship Tromp faced harassment by Chinese military aircraft and helicopters near Shanghai, with the Chinese People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command repelling the provocations. The incidents have sparked tensions between the two navies.
