That old? Must be something N. Korean fishermen got in their net while fishing crabs.:)

It doesn't look like any of these....Just wait for the Reuters story, it'll look exactly like one of those.

It looks like one from an old episode of Gilligan's Island.

If it were a recon torpedo I would think the first thing the N. Koreans would have done was try to get into the thing to see how it works. If they did that they would be displaying the scientific instruments they took from it as proof of what the thing was.That would be assuming the were competent enough to properly utilize simple hand tools.

What is what, a 'recon torp?' A fanciful hypothetical born of too many video games. The photograph? An otherwise unidentified ostensible torpedo.

That is NOT an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV)
Looks like a very old torpedo (50s-60s era)

It is probably a NK mockup of one of their failed attempts at creating b/s.

A black tube shape on a NK news site? Do you know what is 'credulity?' How 'bout a failure of scepticism.

Lighten up Huffman.
I personally saw the "Recon Torpedo" on the History Channel. The show was " Hitler's Secret Nazi Wonder Weapons of 1957"
