American defense officials are voicing more concern about increased North Korean submarine activity, including a possible missile launch test following the recent second North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch in July.
Although the North Korean submarine fleet is generally older and not believed to be equipped to launch missiles from below the ocean surface, there’s increased evidence that the rogue regime of dictator Kim Jong-un is trying to rapidly develop such capability.
Land-based and submarine-based missiles are two-thirds of what defense experts call “The Strategic Triad,” the theory that a nation state must have the capability for land, sea and air-based nuclear attack capabilities in order to successfully defend against a would-be enemy attacker.
Because the latest ICBM launch shows North Korean is getting closer to having a missile that can reach the continental United States, U.S. defense officials are reviewing a range of options, including a possible pre-emptive strike on North Korea.

Sooner or later they’ll figure that$#%&!@*out. Need to sink that$#%&!@*
I find it amusing and sad that many people discount this maniacs intentions. It will only take one successful launch to change life in our country. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Sink it
That’s not a Korean sub.
ONLY IN GOD’S TIMING.
YES, I HOPE YOU ARE READY TOO.
Blow up the NK sub in international waters, if need be, to eliminate that threat immediately.
Take his out already! Smh
We must halt commercial shipments of all physical resources to China. Blockade in the waters around NK to prevent any support from China reaching NK. Sink all Chinese, NK, and Rusdian subs operating in the area.
Pull the trigger already.
