US Nuclear Submarine Headed to South Korea, US Defense Official Says

The USS Michigan — a guided-missile submarine — arrived in South Korea for what a US defense official described as a show of force amid tensions between the US and North Korea.


The US Navy sub arrived in the port city of Busan, South Korea, on the same day that North Korea celebrates the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Army.

A statement from US Naval Forces Korea called the sub’s visit “routine” and said it was a chance to highlight the alliance between the US and South Korean navies, CNN reported.

While the USS Michigan is not expected to take part in the joint exercises, its presence in the region is meant to send a strong message to Pyongyang.
