U.S Navy deployed has announced that the maritime alliance with South Korea has become intense.
Van Buskirk commands the U.S Navy that is based in Yokosuka, Japan, to position near South Korea and Japan in order to defend the deadly attacks from North Korea. In 2010, North Korea has sunk the naval ship of South Korea; however, North Korea denies the accusation of attacking South Korean property. South Korean and U.S. troops are set to begin a new set of military drills later this February to improve their ability to deter North Korean aggression, because the two Koreas are still technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce, rather than signing a peace treaty.
