🇮🇷🇺🇸A flotilla of fast patrol boats of the IRGC Navy, captured by the Sentinel-2 satellite in the north of the Strait of Hormuz.

It is these small but numerous vessels that provide Iran with the ability to blockade Hormuz, as the US Navy destroyed most of Iran's large-tonnage fleet, but failed to catch this small fry.

🇰🇷It is reported, that the South Korean non-nuclear submarine SS 079 Hong Beom-do of the KSS II type (a licensed German project 214) was almost completely destroyed in a fire on April 9 while undergoing repairs at the HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) facility in Ulsan. One of the shipyard workers died in the fire. According to preliminary investigation results, the fire severely damaged the inside of the submarine's hull, and it cannot be repaired. The total damage is preliminarily estimated at 1 trillion won (676 million dollars). It is claimed that HHI will not be able to cover the losses to the South Korean Ministry of Defense, as insurance only covers half of the damage. Hong Beom-do was the seventh of the nine KSS II-type submarines built, and was built at the same HHI shipyard in Ulsan and commissioned by the South Korean Navy in January 2018. Photo (c) Yonhap
