Looks like the launching didn't go as expected.  They tried to do a sideways launch, which is challenging for a vessel this size.  Looks like the bow didn't slide as quickly as the stern.  :HideEyes:  At this point, the ship is both flooded and probably has a bent keel.    The good news is that the North Koreans believe the damage is not serious, and a bit of paint should fix 'er up.  They estimate she will be with the fleet in June.... :ROFL:

I would not want to be anyone working on (and especially supervising) the repair job.  You would be the next scapegoat in this fiasco.
