Ah, so only 3 ships from each side. Ok, I will look it up (can you provide a quick shortcut link if possible?). Thank you.

It could also be that both countries are gauging each other through exercise before taking on each other. Uncle sam is too clever but China isn't fool either

LOL ... maybe the two "sworn enemies" in the Pacific suddenly find common interests in the Atlantic!

I think the US and China also cooperate in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Eden for anti-piracy activities.

Vietnam and Philippines, watch out, you could be ditched .....

Well yes given the extent of overlapping interests globally speaking. Though however remote chances might be, these two countries could still be dragged into conflict if China & US can't avoid it. And if that happens since VN is land-bordered so less of a worry on escalation, self-restraint would be a likely option on either side. Main battles would be versus US and PH in the seas, just hope that won't escalate any further into unimaginable full-scale war.
