United Nations Navy Prepares Inchon Evacuation Amid Korea Front
U N naval forces under Rear Admiral L A Thackrey ready a fleet for a possible second evacuation of Korea’s east coast after Hungnam. The plan contemplates a retreat route to Inchon if the Pugan coast road is cut, as UN troops withdraw west of Seoul. Besieging forces pound Inchon while Carriers and planes press a 72 hour attack, with heavy tolls on communists and damage to their bases. Meanwhile MacArthur reports a fierce fight near Kapyong as the Eighth Army conducts a broad withdrawal along a 150 mile front across Korea.
