New North Korea warship is damaged at its launch ceremony attended by Kim Jong Un
North Korea says a new 5,000-ton destroyer key to its naval advancement was damaged during its launching ceremony attended by leader Kim Jong Un.
The ship slid off the ramp and became stuck after the flatcar failed to move alongside it, throwing off its balance and crushing parts of the ship’s bottom, according to the Korean Central News Agency.
The accident at Wednesday’s ceremony at the northeastern port of Chongjin was an embarrassing setback for Kim, who has emphasized naval advancement as key to his nuclear-armed military.
The damaged vessel was likely in the same class as the country’s first destroyer, unveiled on April 25, which experts assessed as the North’s largest and most advanced warship to date. Kim called it a significant asset for advancing his goal of expanding the military’s operational range and nuclear strike capabilities.
That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
It was out of the environment
Uh oh, looks like a dozen or so slaves are about to get some lashings for their grievous mistake.
You're kidding. Those are already dead. The ones that get punished probably had nothing to do with this.
Lashings if they're lucky. The norm is either being fed alive to a pack of starved dogs or being strapped to an artillery gun. They sometimes get innovative with anti-aircraft guns as well.
For something like this the supervisors and some other high profile employees of the shipyard were likely just sent to a prison camp along with all their immediate family members for “reeducation”.
Those execution methods you mention are typically reserved for failures by military or political leadership.
Is the cameraman okay?
To shreds you say.
I'm guessing not
" Under the mighty gaze of our Beloved Supreme Leader, steel folded and the Great Warship itself bowed. Cower and tremble, enemies of our Powerful State!"
Oh yeah, NK still exists.
With all the bullshit going on in America, NK has to feel like they're in the corner a little, eh?
I'm torn between my dislike for NK and my love for boats 😖
I’ll can excuse North Korean dictatorships but draw the line at damaging ships.
Good.
