No need. SSNs will clear the path.
You are proposing throwing expensive and precious US SSN at cheap and numerous Chinese ASW platforms just off Chinese shores.....
Can SSN stop shore based long range anti-ship missiles? Especially those cheap ones that are design specifically for large, slow cargo ships without adequate air defense capabilities.
Dude, have you no idea of what geostrategy, logistics and the geographical aspects of warfare are, do you?
Any blockade on Taiwan would be a blatant strategy of "围点打援". The BIGGEST and most important strategic advantage the US military has over Chinese military is the reach of the US military. Therefore, strategically, the US use of force would be most efficient, if they can manage to make China "overstretch" her reach, into a territory where the US has overwhelming logistical and geostrategic advantage.
Trying to do "airlift Berlin style" is nothing but a typical American macho-man egotistical display of narcissism, born out of deep rooted penis-envy insecurity. The American does this often, not because the US people is not a great people. But because they have been constantly bombarded and brainwashing by Hollywood "Chad (personal-heroism)" propaganda disguised as entertainments since their birth.
Take the most pragmatic and rational Chinese, force him to watch "Team America" 10000 times, guess what he will do? He will fantasize about himself being Tony Stark saying "I've successfully privatized world peace. What more do you want?" in the mirror in his undies, before taking a shower and go to bed.
