Military Sources, "About 50 N. Korean Submarines Left Their Bases...Can't be Located"

/begin my translation
Dozens of N. Korean submarines left their bases at both Eastern and Western coast, and can't be located. Military are increasing their surveillance capability to track them, it is confirmed.
That accounts for 70% of (N. Korea's) submarine fleet, which totals 70 ships. This is the largest rate of deployment since the Korean War.
Military sources said, "This is 10 times more than their normal deployment level. Dozens of them left their bases at both coasts, and we are unable to track them."
They said, "70% of their submarine fleet is not located. We are increasing our surveillance capability to find them."
They suspect that the unusually high level of N. Korea's submarine movements may be for further military provocation, and raised their level of alert.
N. Korea also more than doubled its front-line deployment of artillery power, since the high-level talks began.
The sources said, "Since the talks began, their front-line artillery power has more than doubled."

If we had the battle-field neutron bombs, North Korea wouldn't be puling this routine. We'd set a few of those off, and North Korean artillery would be sitting there unmanned.
But then, without any warning, in April 1978, Carter announced that he was deferring production of the neutron bomba position that meant, in effect, he was canceling the program. LINK
Rot in hell Carter...

Okay, but I still think it’s insulting to refer to them as sub-marines.
If they pass all the requirements, they should still be called marines.
Oh... wait...

“Thank goodness that US troops are nowhere near the border where they could be shelled in their barracks in the middle of the night.”
They have long range missiles with nuclear weapons.

Also, our new sub hunter, the P-8 Poseidon, lacks a MAD.

I wonder if this insane little nation with its own version of death to America will have any impact on the Iran debate.
Imagine a world where every insane little dictatorship had the capacity to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war. Thank Bill Clinton for a nuclear North Korea and Barak Obama for a nuclear Iran.

That's an interesting piece of technology, but sometimes old school is better.
HOWEVER, I suspect that Rear Admiral
Cindy Jaynes was following ORDERS given her from the United States' WORST ENEMY, the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF,
It appears to be another
INTENTIONAL DEGRADATION OF OUR FORCES by our
RADICAL ISLAMIST IN CHIEF !

"Obama, you've lost fifty submarines?"
To: justa-hairyape
Directly after the SK ship was sunk a mini sub’s crew was honored and praised by the fat Kim.
You do the math.
