Taiwan considers themselves sovereign. That means territorial waters are 12 nautical miles out. They have an EEZ which will extend much further.
Now if Taiwan wants to attack a PRC naval ship on peaceful transit through those waters a mile off taiwans coast or temporarily stopped for a valid reason outside iits port, lets say technical engineering prolems and taiwan sinks it, then it should be roundly condemed by the rest of the world.
Why would they sink it. Depending on how the vessel behaves it will escorted out or towed in
If it fires then all bets are off
In answer to your question, there has been no US naval visit to Taiwan since America recognised China in 1979 and Taiwan ibeing Chinas Sovereign territory
