Just came across this. No idea if it's true or not :|
Reports surfaced on a major accident during the launching of the second Choe Hyon-class destroyer for the Korean People's Navy (aka North Korean Navy).
The ship, whose name has not yet been made public but has been assigned the hull number 52 is the sistership of the Choe Hyun (51), which was shown recently conducting missile tests in North Korea, and is considered the most advanced North Korean warships ever.
According to reports: "Due to immature command and carelessness in operation during the launching process, the parallel movement of the bogies (drydock sleds) could not be guaranteed, which resulted in the launching sled in the stern being released first and becoming stranded, the ship's balance being destroyed by a dent in the bottom of some sections, and a serious accident occurring in which the bow section could not be released from the stern"
This resulted in the ship taking in water and capsizing, all while North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was present.
Looks like heads will roll soon.
