KPA Navy Day observed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 5 (KCNA) -- June 5 is the day of the navy of the Korean People's Army (KPA). The DPRK observes June 5, Juche 35 (1946) as Navy Day. That day President Kim Il Sung gave an important instruction on organizing the marine security corps.
    On this day the seamen of the KPA renew their strong determination to defend the seas of the country as firm as an iron wall.
    Hero of the DPRK Kim Kun Ok said that it is the firm pledge of the one-beats-a hundred sailors to become human torpedoes and destroy ships of the U.S. imperialist aggressors, should they ignite a war on this land again.
    The torpedo boat commanded by him sank a heavy cruiser of the U.S. imperialists Baltimore called a "moving island " in the waters off Jumunjin during the last Korean war (June 1950-July 1953).
    Hero of the DPRK Pak In Ho, had this to say that no force on earth can match the KPA navy armed with the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and the spirit of becoming human bullets and bombs.
    He is one of those who captured the U.S. imperialist armed spy ship "Pueblo" when it illegally intruded into the DPRK's territorial waters off the east coast in the 1960s.
    Their words represent the firm pledge of the one-match-for-a hundred sailors of the KPA.
    The navy of the KPA has been trained into a matchless naval force under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    Today, our navy is demonstrating its might as an invincible force capable of carrying out any naval operations as it is fully equipped with both powerful offensive and defensive means.
    All seamen are the death-defying corps transparent in the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and the self-blasting spirit.
    Aggressors will certainly suffer a disgraceful defeat in face of the brave navy of the KPA if they dare intrude into the territorial waters of the DPRK.
