Visiting the ROKS Cheonan

As part of my tasking detail today, I got to visit the ROKS Cheonan, the ship that North Korea sunk by torpedo in March 2010, killing 46 South Korean sailors. Though the ship broke in two during the attack, successful salvage efforts brought everything back to shore. This is what it looks like today. This is what the midsection looks like.

You can imagine the explosive power necessary to break a ship in half like this -- something any "internal explosion" theory fails to adequately explain.
