To maintain stealth, SSBNs would first have to evade any adversary picket submarines lying offshore. Once in deep water, they would cruise eastward toward the Philippines. In all likelihood Chinese boats would exit through the Luzon Strait, the narrow sea between Taiwan and the Philippine island of Luzon. en Translations a city in China Arabic: ar سَانْيَا f sanyā Chinese: Cantonese: yue 三亞 saam1 aa3 Mandarin: cmn 三亞 Sānyà Japanese: ja 三亜 さんあ, San'a Korean: ko ^싼야 Russian: ru Санья́ f Vietnamese: vi Tam Á References Further reading Sanya, San-ya en 1998 Sanya Saul B.
