Most likely outcome

Do you really blame the us navy for not giving away details? I'm suprised they said anything. North Korea is one of the most volitile countries in the world, and in recent times have stepped up their nuclear based threats, saber rattling and war mongering against South Korea. If seaman Jong dropped a torpedo and it exploded, or there was a sign of an explosion of any kind, if they can pin it to the US or South Korea, they will. That's a possible excuse to war.

If I was in the navy, I'd deny that there was so much as a floating garbage bag from a us ship within 1000 miles of wherever it happened.

And yeah, that's what happens when you build a Korean knockoff from chinese parts, of a submarine that the soviets designed in the 1950's.....

No one really likes the DPRK, but may those seamen rest in peace. Dying in a sub is a bad way to go.

True. They weren't responsible for the Kims' atrocities.
