Naval gunfire and rail interdiction in Korea

Carriers, battleships, and destroyers attacked shore positions and railway traffic, tying naval mobility directly to the land campaign.

Notes

HMS Unicorn used her guns against shore targets despite her primary aviation-support role. Battleships also engaged coastal positions and answered shore batteries. Tribal-class destroyers developed reputations for attacking railway lines and trains along the coast. HMCS Haida's pursuit of rail targets illustrates how warships could repeatedly disrupt land logistics from the sea.
