To seduce the enemy?s soldiers from their allegiance and encourage them to surrender is of special service, for an adversary is more hurt by desertion than by slaughter. -- Flavius Vegetius Renatus |
USS PC-810, a 173-foot submarine chaser built at Portland, Oregon, was commissioned in April 1945. She served in the eastern Pacific during the remainder of World War II and the first months of the post-war era. PC-810 decommissioned in February 1946 and was stricken from the Navy List the following May. She was transferred to the Republic of Korea in early 1950 and renamed Chiri San (Korean Navy # PC-704). Chiri San was sunk by a mine in December 1951.
