Korean War

	Korean War--The Inchon Invasion, September 1950
		U.S. Marines had landed at the western port city of Inchon, near Seoul, and were poised to move inland to retake the capital and decisively cut the already tenuous North Korean supply lines.
		Though strategically tempting, Inchon was a tactically challenging amphibious target, with long approaches through shallow channels, poor beaches and a tidal range that restricted landing operations to a few hours a day.
		The Inchon waterfront is in the right center distance, with heavy smoke rising from pre-invasion bombardment.

		Inchon is one of South Korea's major industrial centers: iron, steel, coke, light metals, plate-glass, textiles, chemicals, and lumber are among its manufactures.
		Increasing urbanization and subway and expressway links with Seoul have made Inchon and Seoul into one large urban region, and the city is the site of a new international airport (2001) serving the area.
		During the Korean War, U.S. troops landed at Inchon (Sept. 15, 1950) to relieve pressure on the Pusan perimeter and to launch the subsequent UN drive northward.

	Korean War Educator: Branch Accounts - Marines - Inchon Landing
		The tidal range near Inchon is one of the greatest in the world, varying from an average spring tide range of 27.1 feet to an occasional maximum of 33 feet.
		The other regiment was to land toward the base of the Inchon peninsula and swing around in the rear of the city to bar escape of defenders or arrival of reinforcements.
		So rapidly had the Inchon operation burgeoned from an idea into a fact that some of the final arrangements for the landings were completed that last night on board the flagship.

		Despite the currents Inchon's waters are eminently minable and are commanded at several places by heights or islands well suited for batteries that could shoot minesweepers out of the water.
		Inchon was a triumph of seapower in all its manifestations: fl-shoe, brown-shoe [surface and aviation], and Marines.

	CNN.com - Inchon invasion a turning point in Korean War - September 14, 2000
		INCHON, South Korea (CNN) -- On September 15, 1950, the United Nations-led invasion of the Yellow Sea port of Inchon turned the tide of the Korean War.
		Meanwhile, the Inchon invasion, code-named Operation Chromite and considered one of the riskiest amphibious assaults in history, was being put together by Far East Commander and U.S. Army Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
		Planners chose September 15 for the invasion because Inchon's notoriously tricky tides, which had a range of 33 feet (10 meters), would be at their highest then, allowing military vessels to carry the troops over the harbor's mud flats and close to shore.

	USS Inchon (MCS 12)
		INCHON, the first ship to bear the name, was named in honor of the highly successful historic amphibious landing by General Douglas MacArthur at Inchon, Korea on September 15, 1950.
		In 1972, INCHON sailed on a world cruise for Norfolk, VA, to the Caribbean Sea, South Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, South China Sea, Eastern and Western Pacific Ocean, through the Panama Canal, returning to the Caribbean and finally to the North Atlantic.
		It is for this reason that INCHON, as the "floating port," provides both a landing platform for MH-53E Sea Dragon mine-sweeping helicopters and repair and re-supply facility for Avenger class MCM ships and Osprey class coastal minehunters.

		The success of the daring amphibious assault at Inchon is a testimony to the genius of General Douglas MacArthur and to the fighting ability of the courageous men he led.
		Inchon became necessary after June 25th, when a huge Soviet-trained North Korean Army, equipped with fast-moving tanks and virtually all the tools of modern warfare, overran the South Korean capital of Seoul in a surprise attack and moved swiftly southward.
		The story of his clandestine actions at Inchon, however, remained virtually unknown until last year, when his account of the mission was posthumously published, under the title The Secrets of Inchon.

	SparkNotes: The Korean War (1950-1953): Inchon Invasion
		MacArthur planned to use Inchon as a base to attack Seoul, and from there cut off supplies to the North Korean People's Army (NKPA), which was then assaulting Pusan.
		This was a classic "pincer" move, intended to crush the North Koreans between the Eighth Army at Pusan and MacArthur's troops landing at Inchon, X Corps.
		For one thing, Inchon's tides fluctuate wildly, and if the invasion was not timed perfectly, the area the X Corps planned to traverse by boat would be nothing but a mudflat.

		He was with his fellow Marines on Inchon Beach, waiting for orders to embark on a new sea-journey to Wonsan, one of the major harbors in North Korea.

	Inchon
		The Inchon Invasion was first brought up in the early weeks of July 1950 when the UN position at the Pusan perimeter was desperate and looked unlikely to hold.
		With Inchon chosen as the target due to the proximity of Seoul, the next problem was the 10 metre tidal range of the harbour and the date chosen was 15th September to correspond with a sufficiently high tide to get the Tank Landing Ships into shore, where they could unload theirarmour.
		With the UN Forces assembled for the invasion, the diversionary attacks were wound down as air and naval support was directed against the area of Inchon to soften up the enemy in preparation for the landings.

		General O. Smith had been more than astute in his observation that "Half the problem was getting to Inchon at all." Despite all of the tactical advantages Inchon posed for an amphibious assault to turn the tide of war in Korea, all of the geographical characteristics were negative.
