Forward Observer Global Sitrep 7-25-23

 

 Excerpt From Today's Global Sitrep:

2. SECOND U.S. NUKE SUB TO SOUTH KOREA: The U.S. military sent a second nuclear-powered submarine to South Korea for a port visit.

• The USS Annapolis is a nuclear-powered attack submarine with conventional munitions that conducts anti-ship and antisubmarine operations. 
• The Annapolis docked at a South Korean naval base on the island of Jeju for resupply.

Why It Matters: Recent U.S. nuclear submarine deployments have triggered North Korea, although their presence on the peninsula is mostly performative. U.S. nuclear ballistic missile submarines could strike North Korea from anywhere in East Asia, and its attack submarines routinely patrol international waters in the region. North Korea has conducted a series of test launches of ballistic and cruise missiles in retaliation for the deployments; however, Pyongyang has a history of rattling its sabers over nearly every U.S. military movement or exercise in the region. – M.M.
