A launch ceremony for a new North Korean naval destroyer went horribly wrong in front of 'supreme' leader Kim Jong Un, according to state media.
Kim watched on in horror as the 5,000-ton ship was severely damaged after failing to launch properly.
He declared the mishap a 'criminal act caused by absolute carelessness' that 'could not be tolerated'.
-snip-
In a statement KCNA said: 'Due to immature command and operational negligence, the parallel movement of the bogies could not be guaranteed, resulting in the launching sled in the stern detaching first and causing the ship to capsize.
'The ship's balance was destroyed due to a rupture in the hull in some sections, and the bow section was unable to detach from the keel.'

Yep. It’s the concept of “collective guilt”.
So you gotta wonder. If an officer knew that was certainly coming, why not pull out a pistol and just shoot that fat bastard Kim Jong Un in the head?
But I guess Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was right. He talked about that. When Stalin’s secret police came to your door, people thought there was a chance they’d just go away. So it was best to submit.
And of course the secret police never just went away. They always took you along with them.

I can’t believe NK state media released a statement about the accident in the first place. Strange.

I don’t remember seeing anything about North Korea implementing DEI policies. Must have been done quietly.

They design their ships so that the keel is supposed to separate from the fore section of the ship? I’d hate to go into combat with a ship like that ...

How do you sink a NK ship?
You put it in the water.
That used to be a joke BTW...

Aw, heck, you just know our little porcine potentate has a great sense of humor. He’ll chuckle and slap them on the back and say all is forgiven. Just before he throws them into the shark tank.
