incident at Yeon-pyeong
Journalist Gregory Elich explains the details surrounding the incident
in an article on Global Research:
 "In response to the South Korean announcement of an impending
artillery drill, North Korea telephoned the South Korean military on
the morning of November 23, urging them to cancel plans to fire shells
into what the North regarded as its territorial waters. The North
warned that if the drill proceeded, they would respond with a
"resolute physical counter-strike." (Greg Elich, Spiralling out of
Control: The Risk of a New Korean War,   Global Research, December 4,
2010)
Nevertheless, the artillery drill proceeded and four hours later,
North Korean artillery fired on the island. In the first round, 150
shells were shot, of which 60 hit the island. Then 20 more shells were
fired in a second round. In all, four people on the island were killed
and 18 wounded."  (Ibid)
Drill on the water, fire in the sky ........

E bei ricordi di gioventu'.
Meglio della cavalcata delle Valkirie in ogni caso, che e' molto piu'
nazi.
Comunque questi sono i fatti acclararti.
Mentre sullo spezzarsi in due della corvetta da 1200 tonnellate
Chenoan non esiste nulla di acclarato al momento.
Come sempre per caso, mi son trovato a visitare la Pohang che e' la
capoclasse, e' diventata un museo galleggiante.
Su questa classe son montati due torri da 76mm Otomelara Italiani, bei
cannoni di cui ne e' rimasto uno sulla Pohang.
E due complessi antiaerei Breda, sulla Pohang che ho visitato al posto
delle Breda si trovavano due Oerlikon da 30mm.
Interessante che sulla Pohanh vi fossero installati due complessi
missilistici antinave Exocet, e un missilistico antiaereo Mistral.
Mentre la Chenoan aveva armamento USA, segno dei cambiamenti di
mercato avvenuti nel tempo.
On 25 April 2010, South Korea's defense minister, Kim Tae-Young, said
that the most likely cause of the explosion that sank the Cheonan was
a torpedo; his statements were the first time that a South Korean
official publicly blamed such a cause.
Kim said that "A bubble jet caused by a heavy torpedo is thought to be
the most likely thing to be blamed, but various other possibilities
are also under review."
A bubble jet is caused by an underwater explosion which changes the
pressure of water, and whose force can cause a ship to break apart.
The bubble jet theory was supported by one of the investigators into
the incident, who had said that there was no evidence that an
explosion had occurred in contact with a ship, and that a non-contact
explosion had most likely broken the ship in half.[32]
On 20 May 2010, an international commission investigating the sinking
of Cheonan presented its findings, and said that the ship was sunk by
a North Korean torpedo attack.[8][33]
The torpedo parts recovered at the site of the explosion by a dredging
ship on May 15, which include 5x5 bladed contra-rotating propellers,
propulsion motor and a steering section, were claimed to perfectly
match the schematics of the CHT-02D torpedo included in introductory
brochures provided to foreign countries by North Korea for export
purposes, but the brochures were never made public.
The markings in Hangul, which read "1번" (or No. 1 in English), found
inside the end of the propulsion section were said to have been
consistent with markings on a previously obtained North Korean torpedo.
[34]
However, some have pointed out that in the North, "호"(pronounced "ho")
is most often used rather than "번"; and that a North Korean torpedo
found seven years ago bears the marking "4호".[35]
Russian and Chinese torpedoes are marked in their respective
languages.
The CHT-02D torpedo manufactured by North Korea utilizes acoustic/wake
homing and passive acoustic tracking methods.[34]
However, an expert at a South Korean missile manufacturer disagreed
with the idea that the submarine alleged by ROK authorities to have
shot the torpedo actually has the capability:
"Sango class submarines are known to be used by North Korean commandos
in infiltrating areas or laying mines, but they apparently do not have
an advanced system to guide homing weapons. If a smaller class
submarine was involved, there is a bigger question mark."[36]
One member of the investigative team, Shin Sang-cheol, who would be
summoned on charges of spreading unsubstantiated rumors, publicly
expressed doubts by saying "The magnified photo of the evidence showed
that the marking was written on the rusted surface. If it were the
North who marked it, the marking should have been written on a smooth
surface."[37]
The Ministry of Defense had earlier tried to remove Shin from the
investigative team,
saying that "He is not qualified to work as part of the investigation
team, as he has been spreading malicious rumors, as well as lacks
expertise and has been insincere in his participation in the
probe."[38]
On 13 September 2010, the final report was issued by JIG which
concluded that,
"The Cheonan was split and sunk due to a shockwave and bubble effect
generated by the underwater explosion of a torpedo.
The detonation location was three meters to port from the center of
the gas turbine room and at a depth of 6-9 meters..."
Their conclusion was that the torpedo did not physically hit the ship,
but the explosion was close enough and destructive enough to sink it.

Se ci montate a bordo di una di queste unita' da 1200 Tons vi rendete
conto che non e' tanto semplice tagliarla in due, come e' avvenuto.
Non succede spesso che le navi si spacchino in due, specie se colpite
da un siluro, siluro che nel caso e' esploso esternamente allo scafo,
a distanza di diversi metri.
Se siluro era, doveva essere dotato di una grossa testata esplosiva.
Molti propendono per una mina.
Shin Sang-cheol dice che la marcatura in koreano sui pezzi di siluro
arrugginito, portati come prova, e' fatta sopra la ruggine, facendo
pensare a una palese contraffazione.
Siamo alla seconda battaglia a Yeon-pyeong.
