Any word on whether North Korea's submarines are nuke capable?

Excellent question. You may remember that back in 1993-94, the North Koreans purchased 40 diesel submarines from the Russkies that fire cruise missiles in addition to the 26 that they already had. These cruise missiles could easily be fitted with North Korean nukes provided that North Korean nukes fit the payload. These North Korean "nuclear missile" submarines could approach the Pacific coast and blast some of our West coast cities or they could be used to take up our bases in Japan, Okinawa, and Hawaii, our amphib transports, even our carrier groups. My only question is what is the condition of the boats. I will have to check my classified sources for the answer.
