Скачать или смотреть Operation Fishnet: The Korean War’s Strangest Special Ops Mission

Did the U.S. Navy really send special forces to sabotage North Korean fishermen during the Korean War?
Surprisingly—yes.

In 1952, trying to avoid a wider conflict with China or the USSR, U.S. commanders searched for ways to weaken North Korea’s supply lines without escalating the war. Their answer was Operation Fishnet, a covert sabotage campaign run by the Navy’s Underwater Demolition Teams—the predecessors of the Navy SEALs.

These frogmen carried out nighttime missions to slash massive fixed fishing nets, destroy equipment, and sometimes even mine small vessels. Why target fishermen? Because North Korea’s coastal fishing industry fed both civilians and frontline troops, making it a quiet but critical supply chain.

Operation Fishnet didn’t decide the war, but it showed just how unconventional U.S. special operations were becoming.
