#5 I have known experts in that area of the world terrified of small nuke subs from the North slipping into allied ports and detonating a nuke in a suicide attack.

They could take out most ports and naval bases pretty quickly as an opening move.

Our screws may be more or less circular,
But whenever we cruise

Cuz -- praise Juche! -- our subs are all nucular."
