Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Navy Unit 269

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, inspected KPA Navy Unit 269. He first looked round the monument to the on-the-spot guidance of President Kim Il Sung and the room devoted to the unit's history.
    Under the wise leadership of the President the unit has grown to be a combined unit of warships with matchless combat capability, he said, adding that the revolutionary exploits the President performed in the Juche-based building of the navy would always shine along with the history of the country.
    He underscored the need to intensify the education through the room devoted to the unit's history, noting that servicepersons can serve in the army more faithfully with affection for the unit only when they know well about its history and tradition.
    He went round a historic warship. It is the warship which Kim Il Sung boarded on July 5, 1954 to give a precious instruction on bolstering up the naval force.
    Looking back with deep emotion on that unforgettable day of history, he urged the unit to preserve and take good care of the warship associated with the President's leadership exploits so that the seamen may always remember the benevolence shown by him.
    Making the round of the port then, he acquainted himself with the overall work of the unit and set forth tasks to be tackled to further increase its combat capability.
    He expressed satisfaction over the fact that the servicepersons of the unit have done a lot of work in the last period and have grown to be a-match-for-a hundred fighters through intensive training true to the on-the-spot instructions given by the President. He had a photograph taken with the seamen of the unit.
