Experts say North Korea's submarine fleet is technologically backward, prone to sinking or running aground, and all but useless outside its own coastal waters.
One more supporting evidence for the above. The North has not yet taken the credit of the attack. Very unusual behavior for them. It`s like No responsibility-claim from Taliban around the Times Square bomb…
There have been some reports from the South Korea media (at least, at the beginning of the incident). The story goes like: at the same time the Cheonan sank, a U.S. submarine also sank in the near water. This was probably a atomic one and had been hidden from the North Korea, as well as from the South navy. So, when the Cheonan detected a strange submarine in that very sensitive water, the strange submarine could not reveal their identity. Fired or torpedoed each other. Then, the conservative South Korean government has taken advantage of it. Families of the Korean rescue soldiers are furious because the government cannot show where they died. Those rescue personnel are said to be first dispatched to the sank U.S. submarine. There seemed to be something very urgent to salvage…
