B: Not much, just the usual. But I did hear something interesting about North Korea.
A: Oh yeah? What's up?
B: So, Kim Jong Un inspected a new kind of destroyer and wants to boost his country's naval power. Apparently, he was checking out this 5,000-ton ship they launched back in April.
A: Whoa, that sounds serious! What did he say?

A: That doesn't sound good... But it gets worse! A South Korean expert thinks they might be working on submarine missiles too.
B: Yikes! I guess they want their nuclear capabilities ready at sea as well.
A: Definitely not a good sign... By the way, did you hear about that big military parade in North Korea? They're planning to show off their latest weapons on October 10th.
