Kim Jong-Un's new warship sinks at launch as North Korean leader fumes at 'criminal act'

North Korea has been left red-faced after a new warship intended to display the nation's military power spectacularly sank at its launch in front of dictator Kim Jong-un

Michael Carroll and William Morgan  |  22 May 2025  |  03:20

In a high-profile debacle reported by the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea's attempt to launch a warship turned into a fiasco under the watchful eyes of Kim Jong-Un.

The supreme leader was present for the grand unveiling of the 5,000-tonne vessel at Cheongjin Shipyard on May 21, which quickly descended into chaos due to a blunder during the launch process.

Meant to be a show of military strength, the event was marred by confusion when the sequence was botched. An early release of the stern sled caused it to jam, resulting in the front of the ship getting stuck and damaging the hull.

The mishap brought the proceedings to an embarrassing standstill. Kim Jong-un, who witnessed the entire debacle unfold, did not hold back in his criticism of those in charge and immediately sought retribution.  .  .  .

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
