Stars and Stripes | First US Navy cruiser to pass through Taiwan Strait in 2 years ‘troubles’ China
The U.S. Navy sent a warship through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, the second such transit in two weeks and the fifth so far this year.
The guided-missile cruiser USS Port Royal steamed through the 110-mile-wide waterway separating China from Taiwan as part of a “routine transit,” U.S. 7th Fleet spokesman Lt. Mark Langford said in a Wednesday news release.
The trip comes just two weeks after the guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson sailed through the strait on April 26.
