We supported them at Wonsan Harbor and someplace further south, Macpo, (Mocpo?) comes to mind but I'm not sure. I was a 1st class Shipfitter at the time,and didn't have much to do with them except providing docking and repairs to their motor launches as required. This might provide you with another source of research about the groups. I hope it helps Wfleod@aol.com
