Update 2: According to YONHAP news agency, 104 sailors were on board and only 58 have been accounted for.

Update: And now WSJ says a Korean ship went down near the border, probably due to a torpedo.

Original post: Check out gold! Rumor going around has to do with hostilities between the Koreas.

This comes the same day comments from North Korean media about Kim Jon Il wanting to drop a nuke on the west, so you can see why folks are jittery.

And Japan will announce stepped-up dev of their own advanced stealth aircraft.

If it's the Mitsubishi that I'm thinking of, it appears to be a joint project with Northrop. Looks like an XF-23, but scaled down a bit. Much of the development is therefore complete.
