Korea, U.S. hold joint antisubmarine exercise
2005-02-21
South Korean and U.S. warships, including an American nuclear-powered submarine, conducted a mass naval exercise off the peninsula's east coast this month, the Navy said yesterday. The allies took part in the annual antisubmarine exercise, called SHAREM-148, in the East Sea from Feb. 12-18, a Navy officer said. The training is aimed at developing and practicing new anti-North Korean submarine operations and testing new antisubs weapons systems, the officer said, requesting anonymity.

The exercise included the fast-attack submarine USS Los Angeles and 8,000-ton-class destroyer USS Cushing, as well as five U.S. Navy warships and three maritime patrol aircraft P-3Cs, the officer said. South Korea used seven naval vessels, including a 4,500-ton destroyer and a number of submarines.

#13  Bwah ha Ship!

I wonder how many will get that reference (CZ *and* Romeo)

Hard to believe a Type XXI variant is still in service these days. 60 years later. Them Germans were pretty damn good engineers & designers. Do the Norks have Chinese discards - or are they old Soviet throw-aways? And don't the Egyptians have a couple of these rotting someplace?

Hey! This is RB I'll bet a lot. Even if most of us are just Harpoon fanatics.

#7  I remember doing joint submarine operations with some S.Koreans in Tongduchon in '88. Tight ship designs they did have! Thunderrun down the arcade. New in town G.I.?

#6  Does North Korea have much in the way of submarines?

A few. They're usually found smuggling terrorists and spies into South Korea.

But, yeah, this is probably a pointed reminder for China.

#1  Does North Korea have much in the way of submarines? Or is this more truly aimed at China?
