The capture of Sin Do Island would be a swift and lasting insurance against further enemy fire from that sector, and it would be an advantageous position from which to observe the movements of native small craft believed to be still engaged in night mine-laying missions. We could waste no time with Sin Do. On the morning of our first day at Wonsan February 22nd the Manchester opened fire on Sin Do gun emplacements at point blank range with her six inch, five inch and 40 mm batteries. Right: The planners discuss Sin Do landing. Naval Officer in center is Manchester ' s South Korean inter- preter. Commander Lee. Bottom Left: Staff Sergeant George Anderson, Tech Sergeant Gunny Barker and Staff Sergeant Dick Martin ot the Manchester ' s Marine detachment were Captain Hansen ' s valuable aides-de-camp. Bottom Right: A squad of ROK Marines muster behind their boss. Lieutenant Shm He Taek. None of them spoke English — a situation which was no small head- ache for the Captain. Admiral Smith ordered Captain Hansen to nearby Yo Do Island, which was in friendly hands, to rehearse South Korean marines for an amphibious assault on Sin Do the next day. nrr

DEATH OF A CITY: WONSAN Wonsan was the throat of central Korea ' s transportation system. Highways and railroads from Manchuria that passed through this city branched out along the coast and inland to battle- fronts further south. Air spotters had reported the city area bulging with Chinese Reds, flow- ing through and temporarily billeting in nouses and barracks before continuing their march southward. And there were dangerously large numbers on the way from northern training camps which would be a serious threat to General Ridgeway ' s offensive if permitted to hit our lines in force. It was soon evident that Wonsan must be eliminated. But to effectively bombard Wonsan it would be necessary to extensively maneuver in a harbor full of problems: (1) Observations indicated that at least two of several islands in the area were in enemy hands. Four days before we arrived, the destroyer Ozbourn had received two direct hits from guns believed to be on Sin Do Island. (2) The peninsula of Kalma Gak extended deep into the harbor. On Kalma Gak numerous large-caliber batteries were concealed in caves that dotted the wooded hillsides. I) An estimated 2,000 mines had been planted throughout the harbor area. Some were moored in fields; others floated freely, and could turn up anywhere . . .
