A snippet from: White Ensign - Red Dragon

"Each side party had its own harbour territory, and any infringement by another party would prompt heated disputes. The formidable Mary Soo, all of 4 feet 6 inches tall, with her No. 2  Ah Lin and the rest of her side party, worked all the American warships - sometimes as many as 16 at a time during the Vietnam conflict."
