Battle of Andalien The battle of Andalien , fought in early February 1550 , was a night action between 20 , 000 Mapuche under the command of their toqui Ainavillo and Pedro de Valdivia ' s 200 Spaniards on horse and afoot with a large number of Yanacona including 300 Mapochoes auxiliaries under their leader Michimalonco . History . After Pedro de Valdivia reached the Bio - Bio River on January 24 , 1550 , he began explorations in the river valleys and had clashes with increasing numbers of Mapuche warriors . After about ten days he turned toward the sea marching to a plain between the Bio - Bio and Andalién River with a lake protecting his camp on one side . Here he stayed for two days and nights . On the second night the toqui Ainavillo and 20 , 000 warriors in three divisions , came out of the local wooded hills and advanced on the Spanish camp believing the night would protect them from attack by the Spanish horsemen and possibly make the horses timid . They also hoped to catch the Spanish unaware . However , the Spanish were alerted ; each night Valdivia had had half his soldiers standing watch at all times during the night and all asleep were ready to wake and face any sudden onslaught . The lake forced the Mapuche to approach the camp on one side so they were pressed close together by the lake and river forming a dense column . The night attack was defeated after a desperate three hour battle . Charging with his cavalry Valdivia was not able to break into the dense Mapuche formation , and his horses were being injured . Valdivia eventually ordered his men to dismount and fight on foot with his other soldiers . The armoured Spaniards with swords and shields , their gunfire and the arrows of the Mapochoes eventually killed about three hundred Mapuche and wounded many more who were pressed forward by the ones behind so that they left piles of bodies before the Spanish line . Finally they were driven back , tired , their ranks thinned and in disorder , their archers without arrows . Seeing this the Spaniards countercharged and broke them just at dawn . Valdivia then sent Michimalonco and his 300 Mapochoes to pursue them , killing many others in this pursuit into the woodlands . Altogether 3000 Mapuche were killed in the battle and pursuit according to Lobera . The Spaniards suffered one killed by a stray arquebus shot but many had wounds as did many of their mounts . After a day treating their wounds they continued onward towards their rendezvous at Penco on the Bay of Concepción with the ships of Juan Bautista Pastene . Sources . Pedro de Valdivia commanded in this campaign and battle . Jerónimo de Vivar wrote as a participant in this campaign and battle and Pedro Mariño de Lobera arrived days afterward with the ships at Penco . Alonso de Góngora Marmolejo arrived in Concepcion in 1551 and so wrote about it from other participants accounts .

Provided with weapons by the U . S . Government , she arrived in at Jinhae Naval Base , South Korea , shortly before the June 1950 outbreak of the Korean War . On the night of 25 / 26 June 1950 , on the South Korean eastern coast , she patrolled against infiltrators from the north . About twenty miles from the key port of Busan its crew sighted an unidentified ship . The PC - 701 challenged by flashing light and , receiving no response , turned its searchlight on the intruder . The light revealed a freighter with an estimated six hundred to one thousand soldiers crowded on her decks . Heavy machine guns were mounted aft on the freighter with which the crew quickly opened fire . The gunfire struck the PC - 701 ' s bridge killing the helmsman and seriously wounding the officer of the deck . She returned fire and in the running gun duel the freighter was sunk between Busan and Tsushima Island . Except for the fortuitous position of the PC - 701 and the fighting qualities of the craft ' s crew , the North Korean soldiers might have successfully landed at the vital Busan . The poor state of combat readiness at the port could easily have led to its loss . In such an event , not even the small Allied toehold on the peninsula would have remained to support the U . S . counteroffensive in Korea . This single naval action may well have prevented the fall of South Korea . References . NavSource Online : Submarine Chaser Photo Archive PC - 823

In the early 1900s , Pacific Fleet ships frequently docked in the San Diego harbor at what is now the intersection of Broadway and Harbor Drive . With all the necessary maritime facilities in place , the site became a supply depot . A small pier was constructed in 1922 and the first materials were moved into the Depot ' s warehouse in February 1923 . Subsequent modifications have been made to the depot sporadically through the late 20th century . Development . Since the complex is on extremely valuable property , the Navy has attempted to finance a portion of operations with revenue from real estate developers seeking to build housing and commercial units . A San Diego developer actually has a lease with the Navy to build a Navy administration complex , along with hotels , offices and shops , in an area of the complex that currently houses dilapidated buildings and government - only parking . However , as of 2010 the project is in limbo due to legal challenges and financing difficulties .
