The USN has said before that it considers aircraft approaching within

Whatever they say. When in international waters/airspace they have to
follow international rules, not theirs. (In theory and as long as you
are not the target of them; you also can't treat them accordingly
[international court])

oh well. It drifts.

questions from the OP stays: is there an airspace around them?
I add: within US territory and in international space?
