The answer to today's Geo Quiz is the South China Sea.

We were tracking the USS Kitty Hawk, which is crossing the South China Sea, on its way back to Japan. The aircraft carrier is part of a flotilla carrying some 8,000 U.S. servicemen and women.

There were headed for Hong Kong to join families that had flown in for Thanksgiving Day. But China denied the ships permission to enter the port. Later China changed its mind and gave its permission for the ships to enter the port.

Listen to our interviews with Lt. Commander Steve Curry, Deputy Public Affairs Officer for the 7th Fleet, who says that China's permission came too late, and to the manager of the restaurant in Hong Kong where reservations were cancelled and no-one showed up for dinner.
