I never sailed of the Straits of Taiwan. We preferred to stay on the friendly side (that is, the east coast of Taiwan) even if we were making passage from Kaosiung to Taipei. Our company deemed sailing the Straits an unnecessary risk. Someone must have hated the Chicoms.
I remember that after they closed down the destroyer squadron Seventh Fleet had in Taipan they often routed ships through the straits on their way to and from Vietnam. Remembering the Pueblo, our CO said he was going to fight the ship if confronted. I realize now that was not going to be a pleasant experience , because the heaviest armament on our LST was three dual 3”50cal anti-aircraft mounts.
