FYI one idea on doing an evac would take a while but could be done with Australian help

Ever heard of the sail passenger ship Wind Song - she was a sail powered passenger ship that could carry 112 passengers that was involved in Pacific cruises - obviously they would jam a lot more into her - it is one way to evac several hundred at a time out of Korea - but thats a mighty slow evac process with 15,000 troops to get home

There is another possible way to get them to Australia - Four coal-fired, steam-powered ships were used to transport bauxite from Weipa in far north Queensland to QAL on Gladstone Harbour - all built in the 1980's and retired the last of them in 2012 - the River Boyne

Could those ships be used to evac troops from Korea? Not sure what their range would be and if they could actually reach Korea, possibly coal up there and then be able to get back to Australia.
