Seventh Fleet commander discusses Taiwan Straits patrols
Admiral Pride said two to four cruisers are in U S Seventh Fleet reserves and the Princeton is assigned but not on this voyage. He noted unfriendly submarines have been reported but were vague and said the Yi kiangshan attack was well executed yet not the maximum effort. He warned any Communist perimeter expansion is serious and that evacuation of Tachens may occur within days after Washington orders. The fleet has guarded Formosa since 1950 and may shield and evacuate Tachens or other nationalist islands off the China coast.
