Staff writer, with CNAThe US warship that sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday was likely the USS Chancellorsville. However, it did not specify when the transit was made and if it was made via the Strait. The information was made public after the Ministry of National Defense said on Saturday that a US warship sailed through the Strait earlier that day, but did not identify the vessel. It was the second time this year that a US warship has sailed through the Strait. On Monday, a number of Chinese planes briefly crossed the Taiwan Strait median line and entered Taiwan’s airspace, but retreated to the western side of the line after Taiwan scrambled F-16s and other military aircraft and issued radio warnings, the ministry said.
