North Korea's new warship sinks at launch in front of Kim Jong-un

13. Apparently it baarely touched water

when it flopped over and sank like a rock.

Kim is demanding the ship be refloated and salvaged and refitted for full use by mid June. I wonder if Kim is going to lose face by refusing to point at the part f the ship sticking above the water and telling it to rise and having it done. Probably not.

One hopes someone introduces N. Korean engineers to things like ballast and center of gravity.

One wonders if they were so concerned with all the scary stuff up on deck that they neglected to install the engines and fuel tanks, thinking those could be retrofit later when the ship was scaring people as it sat in port.

Whatever the cause, it takes major talent to pull something like this off.
