HMAS Culgoa gave strong support to partisan troops in trouble ashore on the mainland. While a United States sergeant spotted, Culgoa fired 102 rounds of 4-inch ammunition, dispersing the attacking North Korean forces, killing many. The enemy’s mortars were silenced and the partisan troops were able to evacuate the mainland to the safety of off shore islands
