[%%IMAGE1%%]<p>  Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) launched the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy's first 3,000t submarine on Sept. 14 in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province. The KSS-III was designed and built entirely within Korea, making it the first of its kind. President Moon Jae-in attended the launch ceremony, and called the submarine “a leap forward” in the South Korea’s defense industry. Some observers, however, question the necessity of such a launch ceremony when inter-Korean tensions are a matter of delicate importance. (Blue House photo pool)</p>
