TL;DR Summary

North Korea has launched a heavily modified Romeo class submarine named "Hero Kim Gun-ok" with a missile compartment containing 10 missile tubes, likely carrying nuclear-capable missiles. The submarine's design suggests a mix of Pukguksong and smaller missiles, possibly including cruise missiles. The boat lacks torpedo tubes in the bow, potentially sacrificing crew spaces. The submarine is different from earlier images, indicating an extensive redesign or a different conversion. Further analysis is needed to determine its full capabilities.
