The USS Hawaii, an ultramodern nuclear-powered Virginia-class attack submarine assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet Submarine Force, has arrived in Korea for the first time. It was unprecedentedly open to the South Korean press at the naval operating base in Busan on Saturday. The Virginia-class subs are the newest U.S. nuclear-powered attack sub. Commissioned in 2007, it is 115 m long and 10.4 m wide, with displacement of 7,700 tons submerged. It is armed with heavy torpedoes and 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles. A military source said this was the first time the Hawaii has been opened to non-U.S. journalists and appears to be a show of force aimed at China and North Korea.
