You're living in cloud-cookoo land if you think the Taiwanese would hand their weapons over. If they did, it would mean they could never, ever buy weapons from the US again. Given retaining a military capability is a top priority for any government (and the US is virtually their only supplier), that would be suicide.

....Actually this is one of America's great wastes of defence expenditures. Capable of delivering a 6400 pound warhead across continents at a leisurely cruising speed of Mach 3.25...

What for, when Taiwan is already building its own modified Tien Kung ballistic missiles and Hsiung Jeng cruise missiles?

It's called satire. Notice the "lol" at the end of the sentence. Obviously even if Taiwan were to buy that missile it would not make a difference in a war.

...Yes indeed, it was for satire, although I'm a bit disappointed so many military students did not identify Navaho. From a technical standpoint, even today it would be a tough target to take out, and the W-39 4 Megaton warhead could sure ruin a good party.....

Anything is possible. But China would not be "gifted" any of Taiwan's weapons for inspection - Taiwan would keep them for itself.

I was more thinking Nike missle. That thing was smaller though. But it was still a big waste.
