South Korean Naval Vessal Sinking In Yellow Sea

According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, a 1,500-ton naval vessel with a crew of 104 sank off of the island of Baengnyeong in the Yellow Sea on March 26. Based on size and crew displacement it is likely either an Ulsan-class guided missile frigate or a Po Hang-class corvette. The incident took place between 9 and 10 a.m. local time. The cause is unknown, but the BBC has reported that a torpedo was involved. Seoul has said there was an explosion at the stern, and it is investigating whether a torpedo attack from North Korea was the cause, according to YTN TV. The contested waters between North and South Korea do see the occasional naval clashes, but the loss of a surface combatant on this scale would be extremely significant.

Any reason why other major news outlets are not reporting? This seems to be a major incident, to say the least.

Per Stratfor

South Korea: Ship Sinking After Explosion Near NLL
March 26, 2010
A South Korean navy ship patrolling near Baekyeong Island, just south of the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea, is reportedly sinking after an explosion. Initial reports have not revealed the cause of the explosion, but there are some suggestions that it may have been the result of hostile fire from North Korea. North Korea has ratcheted up the tensions in the Yellow Sea along the NLL in recent years, and has been using the issue to try to press home to the United States the necessity of signing a peace accord to avoid such continued conflict. If this was indeed the result of hostile action, the situation needs monitored closely for South Korea’s response.

Translation from DPRKese: We REALLY want our money, OK....? And if we don’t get it, MORE of this will happen, and now we will show you the depths of Obama’s cowardice —we perceive it, even if you do NOT.
