Not the Sky Tower but you win because the original question posed was 'Okay then, where is this?' https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...postcount=4033

It is a tower positioned near the entrance to the Port of Kaohsiung.

I can't say for certain the exact purpose of it but I remember the other side of the entrance had a gun emplacement on a hill. I asked the pilot navigating our vessel at the time why and he explained it was for defence against China. This was back in 77 so I should imagine the site will now feature some kind of missile defence.



Over to you my friend
