South Korean Submarine Completes First Ever Trans-Pacific Voyage
This is definitely quite a long trip by these Korean submariners:
A South Korean Navy submarine has arrived at a port in Canada for joint drills with the Royal Canadian Navy amid Seoul’s push to win a Canadian submarine deal estimated at around 60 trillion won (US$39.6 billion).
The 3,000-ton ROKS Dosan Ahn Chang-ho entered a port at the Canadian naval base in Esquimalt, Victoria, on the country’s southwest coast on Saturday (local time) after traveling some 14,000 kilometers via Guam and Hawaii on the first trans-Pacific voyage ever undertaken by a South Korean submarine, the Navy said.
It marked the first time the submarine had completed such a long voyage. The submarine departed from the naval base in South Korea’s southeastern port of Jinhae on March 25.
