#1 Does North Korea have much in the way of submarines? Or is this more truly aimed at China?

#6 Does North Korea have much in the way of submarines?

A few. They're usually found smuggling terrorists and spies into South Korea.

But, yeah, this is probably a pointed reminder for China.

#7 I remember doing joint submarine operations with some S.Koreans in Tongduchon in '88. Tight ship designs they did have! Thunderrun down the arcade. New in town G.I.?

#9 Bwah ha Ship!

I wonder how many will get that reference (CZ *and* Romeo)

Hard to believe a Type XXI variant is still in service these days. 60 years later. Them Germans were pretty damn good engineers & designers. Do the Norks have Chinese discards - or are they old Soviet throw-aways? And don't the Egyptians have a couple of these rotting someplace?

Hey! This is RB I'll bet a lot. Even if most of us are just Harpoon fanatics.
