probably not launched by a submarine ... too much risk ...
To: DoodleDawg
The missile was likely launched from a specially designed submerged barge and not from a submarine and that the North is years away from developing such technology, some experts have said.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Well!Thats not a loss for the Norks because Obama could probably give them the launching technology in order to make himself look good.

Where does one run if on a submarine?

Did the failed launch destroy or sink the sub?

Has anyone seen the funny 1980s movie “The Gods Must be Crazy?” There’s a scene where a band of African revolutionaries are trying to bring down a helicopter by firing a bazooka at it. The only problem is that the round keeps falling out the back side of the bazooka. After numerous attempts, some bright bulb solves the problem by stuffing a bunch of banana leaves up the back side of the bazooka. The weapon is fired and the helicopter comes down.

The fuse probably got doused when they opened the hatch.

This was found to be a very good movie. A very long journey to toss an empty cola bottle off a cliff. Seen years ago and seen more than once (IIRC)

The Germans had (half serious) plans to launch a V-2 at New York from a surfaced submarine off the coast of the U.S. Had they succeeded the U.S. might have held off crossing the Rhine long enough to drop one on Berlin.

Yep. A missile without a delivery system is just a bomb. :-)

Weapons-system development cycle in third-world dictatorship countries:
1. Der Leader demands new weapon.
2. Der Leader demands impossible schedule, puts someone in charge to make it happen
3. Guy in Charge musters entire military industrial capacity to attempt what he knows will fail
4. Weapon appears miraculously at deadline
5. First weapon weapon fails miserably/spectacularly/embarrassingly (pick any 2)
6. Guy in charge is executed as traitor to the state
7. Repeat from step 2.

I worked with a guy that was on a boomer in the 70s, and he said their biggest worry was having one of the gas generators (for ejecting the missile) burn a hole in the boat.
Well, that and a coke bottle that was in the hull, and would make noise in hard turns and heavy seas, giving away their position.
