A Ship’s Embarrassing Moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Launch Goes Wrong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A new large ship from North Korea had a big problem last month. It was a warship, like a big boat for the military. When they tried to put it in the water for the first time, called a “launch,” something went wrong. The ship tipped over and partly sank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Leader Watches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This happened on May 21st at a place called Chongjin Shipyard. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, was even there to watch. He was very unhappy and called the accident a “criminal act” because of carelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixing Things Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Damaged and Moved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the accident, the ship was damaged. News reports said the bottom of the ship was hurt. North Korea quickly worked to fix it. They stood the ship up again and moved it to a different shipyard, the Rajin Shipyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Repair Job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fixing a big ship like this takes a lot of work, especially after it tipped over and got wet inside. Experts from other countries were not sure North Korea could fix it fast. But North Korea said they would fix it quickly, before a big meeting in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Launch Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second Try Goes Well<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guess what? North Korea said they relaunched the ship on June 12th! This time, it seems the launch went well. Kim Jong Un was there again. North Korea wants to show they can build strong navy ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on Track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

North Korea called the first problem an “unexpected and absurd accident,” but they said it did not stop their plan to make their navy stronger. The name of the ship is Kang Kon and is important for their goal to have a modern navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
