The alleged captured submersible

It looks like a torpedo.

Any Navy types out there who can identify this object?

"We have nothing unaccounted for and there is no way for us to verify that this is a U.S. vessel," Oten said.




But he apparently doesn't deny that we have them operating in the area. Hmmmm...

Now that I think of it, it makes no sense. If we had unmanned submerisibles operating in the area, they would be designed to self destruct rather than be captured.

Some 1,500 North Koreans made daily visits to the Pueblo during a recent month-long, anti-U.S. rally period, and the government had its hands full preventing visitors from trying to eat everything in sight, said the newspaper.

There. Fixed.

Reporter: What kind of torpedo is it?

Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty black torpedo with curly fins, a flat nose, propellers, and it just looks like a big ....

Oh, that's what happened to our 'DOOMSDAY' torpedo. Hope they don't try and open it!

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.

Just an opinion ---not a fact.

I will never understand how we let North Korea get away with this.

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

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.

Maybe it's a WWII leftover from the Japanese navy...... they probably based some stuff in Korea, which was under their control.......

"The small vessel was captured during a reconnaissance mission in waters off North Korea's eastern city of Hamhung..."

You've got to love President Bush! NK's Lil Kim must by now grasp the implications of a mine recon drone outside the port of Hamhung.

As in, you send in the recon drone *prior* to something more valuable/powerful/capable moving in.
