Kim Jong-un unveils North Korea’s LARGEST warship ever with Russian-style destroyer to carry cruise missile system TYRANT Kim Jong-un has unveiled North Korea's largest naval destroyer that could house a vertical launchpad capable of firing guided cruise missiles.
Joseph Dempsey, an analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told Seoul-based NK News: "[The naval warship is] “likely a destroyer and the largest warship ever constructed in the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea].
At over 3,600 tonnes, the destroyer is set to become the largest warship in North Korea's naval arsenal, surpassing the current largest vessel, a 1,360-tonne frigate.
The mighty vessel - said to be similar to Russia's famed Admiral Grigorovich frigate - is expected to substantially boost North Korea's naval capabilities.
It could take 10 years for the North Korean military to finish building the warship, according to analysts.
