Donald,

 

There is a map at http://www.kimsoft.com/2002/westsea2.jpg

 

I don't understand why the Communist side did not ask for a line in the West Sea at the truce talks.  NLL (northern line of limits) was drawn by the US after the truce agreement.

The Chosun Ilbo article refers to the sea battle being 26 miles west of
Yeonpyongdo. I cannot find the island on my nautical chart 94033. Could
it be possibly Soyonp'yong Do (about 30 miles west of Seoul), or more
likely Paengnyoung Do (referred to as PY-Do)? Didn't you operate out of
PY-Do during the K-War? My chart says that the three islands that
include PY-Do are (or were) under UN control, and is in a generally
contested area between North and South Korea..
