AB - This study is about the naval evacuation plan from the northern islands on the west coast during the Korean War; named Operation PANDORA. As a result of a truce talk agreement regarding the status of inshore islands in early 1952, the UN forces were obliged to withdraw from the friendly held islands on the western and northern side of the Hwanghae and Kyong-gi Provincial line except for five islands; namely, Paengyong-do, Techong-do, Sochong-do, Yonpyong-do and U-do. Therefore, from early June 1953, the withdrawal of the UN forces, civilians and their materials from the nineteen outer islands had to be started under the overall command of the Royal Navy. The study of Operation PANDORA is very important not only because of its symbolic meaning as the last large-scale naval operation conducted during the Korean war, but also due to the fact that it was the formal execution of a truce talk agreement. However, the academic discourse regarding this topic has been largely dominated by the issue of the characteristic of the Northern Limit Line, thus, the study of Operation PANDORA itself has been poorly documented. The purpose of this study is to introduce the process of the UN forces' naval evacuation plan in the west, which have been largely neglected regardless of their actual value. For this purpose, this thesis examines the whole process of this operation largely based on the Royal Navy's operational records which have been rarely used for the Korean War studies.
