North Korea: Midget Subs Feature Torpedo Tubes, Say Sources In South

December 08, 2010

South Korean intelligence sources maintain that North Korea's newest midget submarines are equipped with torpedo tubes, reports the JoongAng Daily.

The Daedong-B mini-subs are fitted with 13-foot (4-m) torpedo tubes, according to satellite imagery examined by South Korean and U.S. intelligence officials cited by the unnamed sources.

The subs are said to be 56 feet (17 m) long, 13 feet (4 m) wide and 7 feet (2.2 m) high, with a ramp-shaped aft section to enable personnel to enter and exit the vessel.

North Korea conducted intense exercises with the new boats in July as well as during the recent joint U.S-South Korean drills, according to a South Korean intelligence official.
