Since declaring its departure in August Juche 38 (1949) with the creation of new Korea's fleet, the KPA Navy has defended the territorial waters and dignity of the DPRK and glorified its victorious and glorious militant course.

The Navy, which now continues creating its sacred history while advancing along the course of loyalty and feats in the sea of the country, has greeted a golden age in bolstering up the Juche-based naval forces under the wise leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Through inspecting the naval units, he gave the officers and men of the Navy invincible spirit and strength and put his heart and soul into the development of the naval forces.

He taught seamen the Korean-style naval tactics, sailing with them despite the wild waves. And whenever he visited naval units he showed loving care for the living conditions of the sailors.

In August last year, he inspected Guards 2nd Surface Ship Flotilla of the East Sea Fleet of the KPA Navy and paid a congratulatory visit to the KPA Navy Command on the occasion of the Navy Day, providing important guidelines for developing the KPA Navy into a powerful Juche-based service and bestowing great love, trust and warm affection on the service personnel.

In September, he was present at the ceremony of launching a newly-built submarine, at which he expressed his expectations and belief that the officers and men of the submarine would firmly inherit the great spirit of seaman of the preceding generations so as to create new myths of the heroic Navy in the van.

The noble pictures of the kindred ties between the great brilliant commander and naval officers and men who are sharing intention, feelings and fate on the road for building up a rich country with a strong army were recorded as stories of comradeship to be handed down through generations along with the history of building the revolutionary armed forces.

Thanks to his rare military wisdom, energetic leadership and great trust, all the sailors have grown up to be persons of idea and faith and all-round sailors capable of beating any formidable enemy with one stroke and the naval forces of the DPRK have developed into elite matchless ones.
