Abstract

It is early Sunday morning, 4 February 1990. A South Korean ferry, accompanied by a lone Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy Sea Hawk fast­ attack gunboat, proceeds slowly in choppy seas on a routine resupply run toward the island of Paengnyong Do, one of the five precariously situated Northwest Islands.
