Maritime security operations are the actions of modern naval forces to "combat sea–based terrorism and other illegal activities, such as hijacking, piracy, and slavery, also known as human trafficking." Ships assigned to such operations may also assist seafaring vessels in distress. Wikipedia
The South China Sea is a marginal sea of the Western Pacific Ocean. It is bounded in the north by the shores of South China, in the west by the Indochinese Peninsula, in the east by the islands of Taiwan and northwestern Philippines, and in the south by Borneo, eastern Sumatra and the Bangka Belitung Islands, encompassing an area of around 3,500,000 km².

Okay, so who are we protecting or who is in distress? Taiwan?
If it's related to trafficking, it could be related to the Phillipines.
Phillipines are also a target for China, much like Taiwan. China wants all the land that was taken from them during what they call the 'Century of Humiliation.'
