Well it seems some people in NK’s ship building industry will be departing for the here after shortly. Perhaps this is a solution for the idiots responsible for the Constellation C-F in the US.

Destroying a brand new, multi-million dollar warship in front of your Commander-in-Chief is career ending, anywhere.

'Cept this is case, it might well be hard labour for the rest of their lives if they are lucky.

I recall the execution of a general (and possibly he was a relative) being shot by an anti aircraft gun. Guessing Kim will want something similar or even more intense to intimidate his flock.

IIRC, it didn't happen. He later resurfaced in photos. NK is a brutal regime but I tend to be skeptical of the more outlandish claims.

On a general note, every time you see those more outlandish claims, it's Chosun Ilbo who "first publishes them". That's a far-right South Korean newspaper notorious for its anti-North stance.

Some naval news from North Europe.
The Royal Danish Navy (Søværnet) has 5 large frigates in its fleet, and it plans to replace them with 6 new frigates in the coming years.
The shipyards which built the last frigates, Svendborg Skibsværft and Odense Staalskibsværft, do not exist anymore, but still Denmark plans to build the new frigates as much as possible in Denmark.



For almost 20 years, the Visbyklasse corvettes sail around without an air defence system, but at last starting in 2026, these ships will receive the Sea Ceptor. The new Sea Ceptor will be integrated with the 9LV CMS.

Video from HHI (Hyundai Heavy Industry), it is Korean, but we can interprete the video content. They are talking on HHI present products (domestic and export), also the vision on the near future. With both HHI and Hanwha Ocean, we can see DPRK new Destroyer has no chance in open ocean. Shown why they are using on litoral environment to survive.

I was wondering how China maintains it's large sub fleet given it's under 30 yo people are not any less connected to the internet and online games than any other nation's. Any ideas?
Manning-wise relative to population the PLAN is only half the size that Navies in e.g. Commonwealth countries typically are (one quarter compared to the USA). Meaning they have a significantly larger recruitment pool and proportionally to industry/business recruitment less competition.
