}}Ladd Reef ({{lang-vi|Đá Lát}}; {{zh|c=日积礁|p=Rìjī jiāo}}) is a Vietnam-controlled reef in the Spratly group of islands, South China Sea. China and Taiwan are also claimants of the reef. Like Spratly Island, Ladd Reef lies to the west of the Philippines-defined "Kalayaan Islands" claim area.[1]

Names

The English name Ladd Reef was coined by Richard Spratly in late March 1843, after Captain Ladd of the ship Austen, who seemed to be the first to have seen the reef.[2] The Chinese name Rìjī Jiāo was coined in 1947 to replace the 1935 name Lādé Jiāo (拉德礁),[3] which was transliterated from the English name Ladd.

Geography

Ladd Reef lies west of Dangerous Ground in the western half of the Spratly Islands, to the south of Coronation Bank, southwest of West London Reef (West Reef) and {{convert|15|nmi}} west of Spratly Island.[4]

This coral reef lies on a northeast-southwest axis, {{convert|3|nmi}} in length, {{convert|1|nmi}} in width, and spans over an area of {{convert|9.9|km2|ha acre sqmi}}. It is entirely submerged during high tide, but there are some stones jutting out of the sea during low tide.[5]

Structures

The reef is uninhabited but contains a Vietnamese lighthouse (built in 1994)[6] with the inscription Hải đăng đá Lát[7] (literally "Ladd Reef Lighthouse"). The lower portion of the lighthouse consists of quarters for a handful of Vietnamese soldiers and the lighthouse keeper.

Other information

In 1945, towards the end of the Second World War, a Dutch submarine (HNLMS O-19) ran aground on Ladd Reef.[8]
