Because we are in international waters and we are not in an emergency situation we do not see any reason for a return.

Incident made. Fun will now be had by all.

I am pretty sure you were meant to say the Japanese island of Karafuto. :)

Could have been avoided if they stuck closer to the edge of the US territorial waters... but then it would not be much fun for us, the audience. :)

If I remember the map correctly, it's split between Russian Sakhalin and Japanese Karafuto.

No worries, comrade! Admiral K installed guns that are entirely capable of covering the entire width of the strait. (I believe there are also a number of other 305mm guns on the shore that could also cover much of the strait.)
In international waters... but not for long. Not sure how fast they are going but looking with Google Earth, they might already be entering Russian territorial waters by the time they completed sending the message. They are only a mile or so from it.
But does not China claim a 12 NM territorial limit? Given the continued progress of the Chinese vessel after the warning given to it I suspect it would have moved within twelve miles of Diomede.

When the batteries fired, the range cited is 18,050 meters / 18.05 km, which is about 9.7 nautical miles.
65°32'N by 169°12'W is the position of the Senyavin, which was identified as being 12km (6.5nm) further south of the Zhuhai. Also, it's a rough position - I don't always have access to Google Earth, which can calculate positions to more precise values. Sometimes I have to SWAG or make a guess based on the map. Thus, even when I can get something more accurate off Google Earth, I prefer to round the numbers to degrees and minutes.
Speaking OOC
I see several issues with SOP Step 3 - if it is even possible, getting a reconnaissance aircraft to the vicinity of the Bering Strait will take time. Detouring around Russian, Chosenian, and Japanese air space will require very inventive navigation. I am also wondering if it is even useful in this instance.
