US nuclear sub-S Korea visit USS Kentucky nuclear submarine accentuates American naval might, security commitment to S. KoreaBy Chae Yun-hwan BUSAN, July 19 (Joint Press Corps-Yonhap) -- A close look at an imposing U.S. nuclear-capable strategic submarine in the southeastern city of Busan threw into sharp relief what America has billed as an "enduring" and "ironclad" commitment to South Korea in the face of growing North Korean threats. The partially submerged, pitch-black USS Kentucky, an 18,750-ton Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), came into sight as a group of reporters were ushered into a naval base in the city, 320 kilometers southeast of Seoul, following a rigorous security screening Wednesday.
