North Korea has detained four officers, who are being said to have been responsible for the unsuccessful launch of his other ninth destroyer, which external observers say that there has been more damage than what the country has stated. Those detained after leader Kim Jong Un expressed their anger over Wednesday’s incident said that it was due to criminal negligence. The Chief Military Committee said on Friday that responsible people would be held accountable to their unforgivable criminal acts.
The official Korean Central News Agency said on Friday that the severity of the 5,000 -tonne -square destroyer ship damage was not serious, as it canceled the earlier assessment that there were holes in the lower part of the hull. KCNA stated that the hull was scratched towards the starboard of the ship and some seafood was washed away in the back of the ship. He said that it would take 10 days to take out the sea water, straighten the ship and fix the scratches. KCNA said that the work of restoring the balance of the ship is being done as per the scheduled time.

It is almost impossible to confirm this assessment due to the extremely confidential nature of North Korea. It has a history of hiding or manipulating military failures, policy failures and other accidents, although it has also accepted something from time to time in recent years. Lee Ilavo, an expert at the Korea Defense Network in South Korea, said the engine chamber of the North Korean warship was flooded and hole towards the starboard. He said that North Korea can make the ship straight, paint on it and claim that the ship has been launched, but repair may take more than a year as the engine has to be cut to change the engine.

Why the projection of the ship failed
According to the North Korean details, the destroyer ship was damaged when a transportation cradle on the back of the ship was separated during a launch ceremony at Chongjin’s northeast port. Moon Qin-Sick, who teaches at the University of Hanyang in Seoul, said that North Korean employees are probably not familiar with the launch of a 5,000-tonne warship, which is manifold than its current main naval ships. Observers say North Korea tried to launch the destructive ship sideways sideways, a way that it has never used for warships, although it has first used it with large cargo and passenger ships.
