China Sea by Poyer, David. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780312974503.

Welcome to the most dangerous sea in the world... Dan Lenson was taking the USS Gaddis on her final journey, turning her over to the Pakistani Navy. But things didnt go according to plan. Now Dan finds himself commanding an undermanned, under-gunned, strife-filed ship on the China Sea--and cut off from Naval command. The Gaddis is supposed to be patrolling against pirates. But with a monsoon bearing down on his ship, and his crew ready to explode, Dan knows the Gaddis has been turned into a renegade itself: to engage in a violent, secret shoot-out against the second most powerful nation on earth. For Dan, a bizarre, treacherous mission has become a desperate journey of honor, character, and courage. For not only has the Gaddis been forced into a covert mission against China, she now has a murderer on board...
