Thanks for sharing, Daniel. I was not aware of the ship, and I was not aware of the territorial dispute for these islands. Between your article and Wikipedia, I learned quite a bit today.

Sometimes I guess I live with my head in the sand.

I was reading the article about the old LST that the Philippines has run aground on the spratly islands to stake its claim.  I attached the link below but also found that the communication spaces looks to be a gym now.  The ASR in the back has a bottom surface rust on it.
