ASW Drills Off Korea

The joint US-Korea drills are focusing on anti-submarine efforts. Gee, I wonder why?

The US and South Korea practised anti-submarine drills on the second day of joint exercises aimed as a show of strength to North Korea.

Officials said the drills in the Sea of Japan focused on detecting and destroying enemy submarines.

They follow the 26 March sinking of a South Korean warship, the Cheonan, near the inter-Korean maritime border.

International investigators say a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine sank the ship.
