Pacific 07/13/65: The USS Medregal (SS-480) collides with the Lebanese merchant ship The Rodos in the South China Sea suffering some damage in international waters 18 miles south of Hainan island. The U.S. Department of Defense says the submarine was on routine operations, but China claims the incident took place within its territorial waters.

This where current day China has a submarine base; also, other military ships. I wonder if in 1965 it was being used for a naval base.
