Pudgy visits naval unit, calls for stronger naval power
2014-12-14
North Korean leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un visited a naval unit and called for efforts to boost its combat capabilities next year, the North's media reported Saturday.

During the visit to the naval unit, code-named 189, Pudgy Kim was briefed on "the ongoing combat and political training" and guided "the maneuvers of submarines," the (North) Korean Central News Agency) said in a report, monitored in Seoul.

The North Korean military has been carrying out winter drills since earlier this month in an attempt to stay warm "unusually intensive" way, according to South Korean defense sources.

Calling for making 2015 "a year of bringing about a fresh turn in the strengthening of the navy," the corpulent Kim urged the servicepersons there "to effect a collective innovation in the training for the new year," the KCNA report said.

He also stressed the need to employ "advanced training methods ... and set forth the tasks and ways for rounding off sub unit's war preparations," the report said.

During his latest inspection, Kim was accompanied by Choe Ryong-Hae, the Workers' Party of Korea secretary, Hwang Pyong-so, director of the general political bureau of the Korean People's Army (KPA), and other commanding officers, according to the KCNA. It's Choe's first public appearance since his visit to Russia last month as the leader's special envoy.

#2  Apparently the units Pudge has been visiting over the past two years are all designated "O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment."

O Jung Hup supposedly fought the Japanese alongside Kim Il-Sung. I'll go out on a limb and assume that these units are combat-ready.
