First Sumatran expedition

The First Sumatran expedition, which featured the Battle of Quallah Battoo (Aceh: Kuala Batèë, Malay: Kuala Batu) in 1832, was a punitive expedition by the United States Navy against the village of Kuala Batee, presently a subdistrict in Southwest Aceh Regency. The reprisal was in response to the massacre of the crew of the merchantman Friendship a year earlier. The frigate Potomac and its crew defeated the local uleëbalang (ruler)'s forces and bombed the settlement. The expedition was successful in stopping Sumatran attacks on U.S. shipping for six years until another vessel was plundered under different circumstances, resulting in a second Sumatran expedition in 1838.

General Sherman incident

The General Sherman incident (Korean: 제너럴셔먼호 사건) was the destruction of an armed U.S. Merchant Marine side-wheel steamer in Korea in 1866. It was an important catalyst to the end of Korean isolationism in the 19th century. After passing the Keupsa Gate without permission from the Koreans, the merchant ship was attacked and fought over for several days before finally being destroyed in Pyongyang.

"What I learned reporting this book [Surprise Kill Vanish] is we're in a 134 countries doing Title 50 operations ... think about that ... the government wants that to be kept secret."

"... not under the rules of engagement of the military."
