US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz left the South China Sea on Monday morning heading west, according to ship tracking website Marine Traffic, after a reception for its planned port call in central Vietnam was cancelled.
The carrier had planned to visit Danang City later this week, but two sources, including one diplomat, said a formal reception scheduled for 20 June had been called off.
One source said the US Embassy in Hanoi had informed him about the cancellation, citing “an emergent operational requirement”.
