	Strait
		A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
		Straits usually lie on important shipping routes, and many wars have been fought for control of these straits.
		That is, while straits lie between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water, isthmuses lie between two bodies of water and connects two larger land masses.

	USS Gunnel SS-253 / Fifth War Patrol
		As revealed later, in addition to GUNNEL and ANGLER, six other American submarines were also assigned to guard various straits and passages in the island chain between the Indian Ocean in the south and the Java Sea and Flores Sea to the north, including Lombok Strait at the Eastern end of Java.
		GUNNEL patrolled in the confined waters of Sunda Strait for the next several days, remaining close to the narrowest part of the Strait except when sailboats, fishing vessels and suspected patrol boats were detected when we took evasive action on the surface or submerged to avoid disclosing our presence.
		Karimata, East of Singapore and just west of Borneo, was a passage most frequently used by large ships transiting between the South China Sea and the Java Sea.

		If the Strait were interdicted, much of Indonesia's export earnings would be lost, and Japan would lose 16 per cent of its oil supply and a significant share of its LNG imports.
		The imposition of restrictions on straits by littoral states is apt to be a far more important impediment to surface naval mobility and the shipping of oil and other resources than to the US underwater strategic nuclear force.
		The most important application of this concept would be the removal of critical straits, sea lanes, and air routes in the region from the naval and air, nuclear defensive and offensive strategies of the superpowers.

		The South China Sea is a marginal sea, part of the Pacific Ocean, encompassing an area from Singapore to the Strait of Taiwan of around 3,500,000 km².
		A number of nations, particularly the Philippines which knows it as the Luzon Sea, object to the name "South China Sea", in that it implies Chinese sovereignty over the sea, which they dispute.
		The International Hydrographic Bureau defines the sea as stretching in a southwest to northeast direction, whose southern border is 3 degrees South latitude between South Sumatra and Kalimantan (Karimata Strait), and whose northern border is the Strait of Taiwan from the northern tip of Taiwan to the Fujian coast of mainland China.

		The imported waters are balanced in volume with outflows mainly through the Taiwan Strait and the surface layer of the LS.
		In terms annual mean, the LS is the main inflow passage and all the other straits are outflow passages, displaying a mean transport through the SCS, from the Pacific to Indian Ocean.

		We're sailing in the Karimata Strait between Sumatra and Borneo and heading NW toward Serutu and Karimata islands for a rest stop.
		The passage from here to Singapore is a very difficult stretch of water without an engine - lots of ship traffic, strong currents in the straits between the islands, and high incidence of thunderstorms for the next 400 miles.
		We're just south of the Singapore Strait and we can see the lights of Singapore at night, only 20 miles away and the constant stream of shipping traffic.

		I was convinced that if no other boat was contacted, I could get through Karimata, the Java Sea and Lombok on the surface with a good chance of success.
		By adjusting speed to pass through and well clear of Karimata during darkness; to cross the Soerabaya - Balikpapan routes at night and to stay well north of Lombok until dark I felt sure of avoiding aircraft.
