U.S. says North Korean submarine missing
CNN ^ | 03/11/2016 | By Barbara Starr

The North Korean regime lost contact with one of its submarines earlier this week, three U.S. officials familiar with the latest information told CNN.

U.S. spy satellites, aircraft and ships have been secretly watching for days as the North Korean navy searched for the missing sub.

The U.S. is unsure if the missing vessel is adrift under the sea or whether it has sunk, the officials said, but believes it suffered some type of failure during an exercise.

Maybe the flight crew from Asiana 214 was aboard?

Years back, I would have asked about the Glomar Explorer.

Global Marine Drilling Company in the Pacific off of Hawaii. Global Marine Drills for Oil. Geologically there was zero chance of oil, but there was a sunken Russian Sub on the bottom of the ocean. They got the important parts along with nuclear warheads and code books, for years later no one knew what was done.

They did good, they did very good!!!!!!

"Oilfield Trash Rules" in an operation like this or a bar fight, place your money on the roughnecks and the brilliant engineers that do what can not be done. Oddly enough a few of those engineers could do quite well in a bar brawl! Those engineers were basically roughnecks like us but a lot smarter.

I wonder if it was taken out by SK in retaliation for the launches and the earlier SK civilian boat sinking.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whether it was or not, S. Korea will get the blame for it.

“Geologically there was zero chance of oil, “

The ‘official’ story was magnesium nodules.

I can’t think of many jobs worse than being a North Korean submariner.

Being a North Korean anything must really suck.

An ASW ship found them on sonar and rolled a couple of depth charges over the fantail. Then there was a huge splash on the surface.

“Not surprising considering NK workmanship”

Be careful criticizing them...after all, they are putting SATELLITES into orbit, which is not trivial, at all.

“As a Marine mom who knows what the boots are going through under our administration, I have great empathy to NK moms whose sons probably have no choice and know they are doomed.”

As a person who has read quite a few books by and about North Korean defectors, I TOTALLY AGREE with you. We owe it to their ‘little people’ to rid them of their Kim SCOURGE once and for all.
