Canberra: An Australian warship has been conducting exercises in the South China Sea with US ships, as tensions heighten in the disputed waterway while much of the world remains in lockdown because of coronavirus.

Over the past few days the Australian ship HMAS Parramatta has been undertaking exercises with US ships America, Barry and Bunker Hill as they passed through the waters.

The move comes as Chinese ships have also been passing through the disputed waters, according to Defence experts.

A Defence spokeswoman said Parramatta has been undertaking an "extended deployment" throughout south and southeast Asia for the past two months to "help strengthen the stability and security of the region".
