Theodore Roosevelt Strike Group Destroyer Conducts Taiwan Strait Transit

(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) –A U.S. Navy destroyer conducted a Taiwan Strait transit today, continuing a recent push for the Navy to operate between mainland China and the island it claims.

USS John Finn (DDG-113) conducted the routine transit today, which the Navy says “demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows,” according to a U.S. 7th Fleet statement.
