“The United States has through their proper diplomatic channels demarched the Chinese, demanding return of our stuff,” KUNA quoted the Pentagon as saying in a statement.

Although the US vessel made contact with the Chinese to demand the device’s return, the request was “ignored,” said the statement.

The(UUV) was “lawfully conducting a military survey in the waters of the South China Sea,” said Spokesperson Jeff Davis to reporters.

“It’s a sovereign immune vessel, clearly marked in English not to be removed from the water – that it was US property.” “This is not the sort of conduct we expect from professional navies,” Davis added.
