North Korea claims progress in nuclear-armed navy with warship

  North Korea has deployed a 5,000-ton destroyer, which leader Kim Jong Un is describing as a symbol of the country's growing naval and nuclear capabilities, as Pyongyang seeks to increase its ability to project military power at sea.

Warships like the Cho Hyon show that the nuclear armament of its navy is progressing according to plan, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said, citing Kim at a commissioning ceremony in the western port of Nampo on Tuesday. The Cho Hyon was formally inducted into the North Korean navy after the ceremony and will be tasked with defending the country's western coast.
