In 1952, the Taiwan Patrol Force, Task Force 72, began conducting surface SIGINT Operations in the Taiwan Straits using destroyers of the Seventh Fleet.
Their purpose was to prevent any attack on or invasion of, Taiwan (formally known as Formosa) and the Pescadores Islands to ensure these islands were not used as a base of operations against the Chinese mainland by the Chinese Nationalists, except in the event of a Chinese Communist attack. In early February 1953, as the result of a major U.S. policy change, the latter part of the above mission was delayed.
