  1. Word on the "Intelligence" street is that this submarine is a total disaster waiting to happen. Literally, a "pringles can" with some stuff inside. The crew will be in constant peril just trying to keep the thing operational. I would suggest "Shrimp" Jong-un take a test ride in the thing. He would never do that. That white suit "Shrimp" is wearing reminds me of the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
