Hong Kong, Port of Call
The United States Navy conducts 60-80 port calls a year to Hong Kong. This program has continued uninterrupted since the reversion of Hong Kong to PRC sovereignty. Port calls to Hong Kong contribute to U.S. overseas presence in the region, allowing for minor maintenance and repair of transiting ships. Continued ac-cess to one of the world's premier quality-of-life ports contributes positively to sailor retention and also serves as symbolic support for the continued autonomy of Hong Kong as called for in the 1984 UK-PRC Joint Declaration, and Hong Kong's Basic Law.
Hong Kong is located on the north shore of the South China Sea at approximately. Hong Kong actually includes more than 230 islands and islets as well as a portion of the mainland east of the Pearl River estuary adjoining the People's Republic of China (PRC). The latter area is called the New Territories. The total areal extent of Hong Kong, including the New Territories, is approximately 415 square miles (1,076 square kilometers).
