Best photos of North Korean Navy I've ever seen (pic heavy)

A buddy of mine sent these too me, they were shot during a Chinese Navy port visit to Wonsan:

Different views of a Gunboat



s






Romeo class submarine





As a bonus here is a photo from one of my collections of a Patrol Boat on the Yalu, its one of the few photos I've seen that has quality matching these...

They look like PLA-N.

Nice pics though, I've always wondered what the KPN's uniforms looked like.

Nice shots but what an awful colour for a sub.

The photo I posted was of a standard sized submarine of the Romeo class. What sank the Cheonan was this:


Iran operates them as the Ghadir class...

At periscope depth a submarine painted black can appear to be a black smudge on the ocean to an aircraft while a submarine painted green or light blue will be less noticeable and could be mistaken for something natural.

Usually black as I'm sure you know but I do recall having seen black and white conning towers on S and or T classes in the past (nuclear boats).

The Oberons had some Camo Paint in Desert Storm...



The Chinese navy painted one or more of their Kilo boats dark blue:



Drug smugglers paint their subs with camo too
