The United Kingdom, among many other nations, has recently decided to increase their military presence in the Indo-Pacific in face of the security challenges that China has been posing to these Western nations (Sengputa, 2021). The deployment of a Navy fleet of this dimension has notoriously been deployed last in the 1982 Falklands War, demonstrating the importance of this military action and the significant geopolitical challenges that China’s expansion strategy presents.
