#1 "submarine infiltration drills"

Is that an unnecessarily diplomatic phrase for "invasion"?

Is there a Navy of Steve's to address this?

#2 See WORLD NEWS > [Examiner.com] SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY REPORT FAILS TO MENTION THAT NORTH KOREA TOWS ROCKETS WID FARM TRACTORS.

Not military-grade stuff.

#3 Blaming it on Korean crabs. Do they have no shame?

#4 Anyone remember the Russian/Nork remote sensing 'joint exercise' news we had a little while back? I wonder if it wasn't part of a ASW training effort.

#5 Given the limited area involved in the coastal waters in which most Nork submarines can operate, the SKor should invest in the equivalent of SOSUS, in this case, a combination of acoustic and magnetic detection.

The latter is relatively cheap, just laying a grid of cables on the ocean floor, so that when a boat or ship passes over them, a tiny current is created. And then your navy holds a depth charge training exercise.

The acoustics would be for deeper water subs, but still gives your swabs all that great training.

#6 a lot of North Korean and Chinese fishing boats are busy in the West Sea during the blue crab harvest season

He ain't kidding. There are so many together, it looks like a land mass on radar. And at night with all the boats' lights, it looks like one of the coastal towns had drifted out to sea.

If you wanted to move subs around, it's near-perfect.
