Maritime power
October 16, 2026The DPRK’s centuries-old dream of becoming a maritime power is coming true.
For the country which borders the sea both on the east and the west, the maritime sovereignty can be said to be the core of the sovereign rights.
According to the plan and guidance of the Workers’ Party of Korea for building the DPRK into a maritime power that no one can dare provoke, the Navy of the Korean People’s Army is developing into an all-round and powerful Juche-based service with improved combat efficiency and full modern surface and underwater offensive and defensive means.
In recent years alone, the first tactical nuclear attack submarine and two new-type multi-mission destroyers were built, transferred to the KPA Navy and commissioned.
