One of the highlights of the 2024 RIMPAC military exercises is the Sink Exercise (SINKEX), where participating military aircraft and ships bombard target ships. TVBS visited a shipyard in Hawaii where the retired USS Tarawa, resembling China's Type 075 amphibious assault ship, will serve as the target. While some military experts interpret this as targeting China, the U.S. military denies such claims. This farewell mission of the USS Tarawa, a Persian Gulf War veteran, will commence in Hawaii.
