The history of the development of the unit is recorded with feats which strikingly demonstrated the might of the KPA Navy by sinking or destroying a lot of enemy warships including the battle results unprecedented in the world history of naval battles KPA navymen achieved by sinking the U.S. imperialist heavy cruiser "Baltimore" with just four torpedo boats in the naval battle in Jumunjin during the Fatherland Liberation War.

Looking at historic mementoes and data, he recalled with deep emotion the path of victory and glory covered by the combined unit.

The combined unit is a unit which has fully displayed patriotic devotion and popular heroism in the defence of the country and socialist construction for decades and performed proud feats in this course including the capture of the U.S. imperialist armed spy ship "Pueblo" which intruded into the territorial waters of the DPRK, he said, calling upon the service personnel of the combined unit to preserve this tradition and demonstrate the invincible might in devotedly defending the country in the future, too.

The navy has a very important mission and role to play in the country bounded with seas on its three sides, he said, putting forward important tasks which would serve as guidelines for further bolstering the naval force.
