Talk:Pong Su incident

message: The opening paragraph states that "members of the Australian Special Operations Command intercepted and boarded a ... freighter." The Australian media have repeatedly reported that it was the SAS that boarded the Pong Su. The SAS is a unit within ASOC. Unless there is a dispute about this I intend to make the reference specifically to the SAS. Wulfilia 14:51, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Australian Army's service newspaper reported that elements from all of SOC's units took part in the operation. See: http://www.defence.gov.au/news/armynews/editions/1073/topstories/story01.htm --Nick Dowling 08:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Australian_Special_Air_Service_Regiment|SAS]] involvement? 

message: I've just removed the statement that "Australia's Incident Response Regiment was also deployed, indicating Australia's suspicion of weapons on board." According to Defence media releases and news stories, the unit which boarded the ship was a rapidly assembled and ad-hoc unit comprising Special Forces personnel who were trained in boarding moving ships and available in Sydney during Easter. The IRR personnel were involved only because they were trained to board moving ships and there have been no reports I've seen indicating that the Australian government was expecting to find anything requiring the IRR's specialist skills on board the ship. --Nick Dowling 11:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This text "「鋒秀」號 " was cut and put in the intro from a lower section of the article.  Is this the ship's name?  As it is unclear, the text in the article is hidden with editor comment.--S. Rich (talk) 04:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems irrelevant as the ship isn't Chinese.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

text: Yes - that's the ship's name written in Hanja (Chinese characters used for writing Korean, as an alternative to Hangul).  Hanja no longer used in the North, but still have some official usage in South Korea.  AaronRichard (talk) 05:22, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ships name in Chinese? 

message: :Most significantly, an official of the governing Korean Workers' Party was found on board, linking the drug shipment to Kim Jong-il's government.
I am sure there are no private shipping lines in North Korea, so the Pong Su was state-owned, like most of the economy (apart from co-operative farms). Likewise, the party is involved in many facets of society. This isn't all that significant.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:12, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
