PYONGYANG, July 22 (Xinhua) — A major North Korean shipyard has announced plans to build another advanced destroyer, state media reported Tuesday.
At a mobilization meeting held Monday, the Nampo Shipyard pledged to build the third Choe Hyon-class destroyer by Oct. 10, 2026, the founding date of the Workers' Party of Korea, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
Nampo Shipyard Director Yun Chi-gor hailed the shipyard's success in building the country's first new-generation multipurpose destroyer and called on the shipyard's workers to build the new warship on time, KCNA reported, citing the official's address to the crowd.
Nampo Shipyard unveiled the country's first Choe Hyon-class destroyer at a launch ceremony in April this year, while the second destroyer of the class capsized and sank due to a "serious accident" during a launch ceremony at Chongjin Shipyard in May. The damaged destroyer was re-floated at Rajin Shipyard in June. –0–
