S. Korea spots signs of N. Korea's submarine rocket development

SEOUL, Sept. 14 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's military confirmed Sunday it has detected signs of North Korea's development of a submarine-based ballistic missile launch system.

In a report to an opposition lawmaker, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said there is an indication that the North is developing a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).

"There is no intelligence yet that North Korea has an SLBM in operation. But the possibility of a North Korean submarine equipped with an SLBM has been detected recently," the JCS said in the document submitted to Rep. Jin Sung-joon of the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy.

South Korea and the U.S. are jointly scrutinizing the North's related move, added the JCS.

A senior South Korean government source also said the South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies spotted signs that the North has developed a ballistic missile launch tube.

South Korean culd probably build a nuke but it will take longer I think, the US probably watches them closely enough where they do not have components on a shelf somewhere.

Some of those 50’s/60’s subs were actually very quite, see: Oberon Class. An Australia submarine from that class snuck up on a US carrier in a war game and “sank” it from 300 meters away without detection.
