Kayaking protesters block U.S. Navy ship at event off South Korea
UPI Kayaking protesters block U.S. Navy ship at event off South Korea
ByWooyoung Lee
SEOUL, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier was blocked entry to the Jeju Navy base by a group of kayak protesters on Thursday.
Some 200 civic activists in kayaks paddled out to the sea off the base to protest the 2018 International Fleet Review, interrupting the entry of the U.S. aircraft carrier.
The USS Ronald Reagan, one of the Navy's largest warships participating in the naval event, has been rescheduled to enter Friday, according to a South Korean Navy official, Munhwa Ilbo reported.
The U.S. warship attended a nautical parade, as scheduled, which is a highlight of the fleet review that featured 40 ships and 24 aircraft demonstrating their naval prowess. The fleet review runs until Sunday.
