'''Operation Hound''' was an Allied operation conducted by the Royal Navy during the [[Pan-Septentrion War]], as part of the [[Khalistan campaign]], that occured on 21 September 1944. The Royal Navy task force [[Force R]] led by Admiral Charles Norton which included the aircraft carrier HMS Formidable targetted Menghean transports leaving Khalistan. While the operation is largely considered a failure as only a small number of transports were actually destroyed, the Imperial Menghean Navy would lose the battleship [[Chŏngdo]] with Admiral Cho Sŭng-chŏl going down with the ship. | '''Operation Hound''' was an Allied operation conducted by the Royal Navy during the [[Pan-Septentrion War]], as part of the [[Khalistan campaign]], that occured on 21 September 1944.
