nuclear powered energy stations all over the country would be huge for manufacturing.
I wish they would do that in the USA. Build a self-contained site, bury it underground, when the fuel runs out dig it up and replace it.
The 214 boats with AIP may have advantages in ASW over the nuclear boats. And you can build a lot more for your money. Unless ROK plans to project power, the 214s are a better bet.
That’s weird, I thought AIP was good for one month or maybe even a little bit more, these days.
Why not? They’ve been one of the preeminent shipbuilders in the world for decades.
I despise any article that states what “China believes” based on the pronouncements of the Chicom thugs,the real intent of which is to get over on the rest of the world.
What is SoKo going to do with a nuclear sub?
The sub will what? ...circle in a 1 mile radius?
Considering nuclear-powered subs might be the best way to get the attention of the Chinese and their vicious little lap dog. But would the superquiet Swedish subs be a more economical solution? (AIP, air-independent propulsion, as others have mentioned.)

The money used for this diverted from civilian food production will cause how many starvation deaths?
