Lots of unknown type contacts around certain segments of the contested islands. Usually there are a few but this is a pretty good number.

A few warships off San Diego and a heaver presence around the Hawaiian Islands, but nothing indicates a pattern or particular activity. USNS Matthew Perry, a supply ship, has departed San Diego.

No anomalies noted in the shipping traffic, and nothing unusual about the military vessels that show up on scope.
