S. Korea's 1st submarine to retire

The ROKS Jang Bogo, South Korea's first naval submarine, is moored at a naval port in the southeastern city of Changwon on Nov. 18, 2025, a day before the 1,200-ton submarine embarks on a farewell cruise, carrying both the first and last captains of the vessel aboard, in this photo released by the Navy. The submarine, launched at an HDW shipyard in Germany in 1991, was acquired by the South Korean Navy the following year. (PHOTO NOT FOR SALE) (Yonhap)
