Bloodless ? Indian side: 22 killed Portuguese side: 30 killed, 57 wounded Mostly because the navy was not aware of the no combat order by the Governor of Goa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Goa (whether 'liberation' of 'invasion', it was an 'annexation' ;-) And for a military operation on such a scale, this was (next to) 'bloodless' indeed. Taiwan might be very different ... ;-( All you want to know about the frigate Alfonso de Albuquerque, 'perdido em combate': https://web.archive.org/web/20150317124204/http://www.areamilitar.net/DIRECTORIO/NAV.aspx?nn=128 Ciaoui, p+2D!
