The submarine built under the meticulous guidance and special attention of the Supreme Leader will perform its duty in the operational waters of the East Sea of Korea and is about to go into service.

Viewing the submarine, Kim Jong Un learned in detail about its operational and tactical specifications and combat weapon systems.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the submarine was designed and built to be capable of fully implementing the military strategic intention of the Party under various circumstances.

Saying that the operational capacity of submarine is an important component in the defence capability of the DPRK bounded on its east and west by sea, he stressed the need to steadily and reliably increase the defence capability by directing big efforts to the development of the naval equipment such as submarine.

Explaining the Party's strategic plan for the use of submarine and underwater operations, he elaborated on the immediate duty and strategic tasks facing the field of defence science and submarine industry to carry out the plan.

He said that the successful building of the Korean-style powerful submarine is the fruition of the noble patriotism and loyalty of officials, scientists, technicians and workers in the field of defence science and munitions factories who have worked hard to boost defence capability, true to the Party's policy on attaching importance to defence science and technology, as well as another demonstration of the might of the country's thriving defence industry.
