주요내용 On July 23, 2019 North Korean media published photographs and stories concerning Kim Jong-un’s inspection of a “newly built submarine”—the long expected follow-on ballistic missile submarine (SSB) to the Korean People’s Navy’s (KPN’s) existing SINPO-class experimental ballistic missile submarine (SSBA).1 During the inspection Kim expressed “great satisfaction” with the development of the new submarine and explained that the new submarine “is an important component in national defense of our country” and that “…its operational deployment is near at hand.”2Kim’s inspection visit is believed to have taken place at the Sinpo South Shipyard, home base of the KPN’s existing SINPO-class SSBA, submersible ballistic missile test barge and submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) test stand.
