USS Antietam (CG-54)'s 1996-97 deployment put her crew at the center of the most consequential Pacific standoff since the Cold War. The Taiwan Strait Crisis — sparked when China launched missiles near Taiwan during its landmark presidential election — required an immediate and overwhelming American naval response. Two carrier battle groups sailed, Aegis cruisers like Antietam held the line, and the message was received. That deployment stands as a textbook case of deterrence working exactly as intended.
