South Korea: The Sinking of the ChonAn
Mar 26, 2010 | 19:51 GMT
Summary
The South Korean corvette ChonAn, which sank off the coast of Baekryeongdo Island in the Yellow Sea March 26, may have been hit and penetrated by some kind of explosive device below the water line. This suggests a naval mine or torpedo rather an anti-ship missile, coastal artillery or friendly fire. It also could have been a catastrophic internal mishap. In any case, South Korea has yet to point any fingers.
