Iran and North Korea have set out to modernize their aging underwater fleets to include new submarines capable of escaping detection and firing advanced missiles.
Iran and North Korea are updating their aging fleets and building new and more advanced submarines in order to counter their adversaries in open waters.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani attends the inauguration ceremony of a new cruise missile-armed, semi-heavy Fateh-class submarine at Bandar Abbas naval base, February 17, 2019. Despite a decade-old arms embargo, the Islamic Republic has managed to continue to develop its surface and underwater fleet.
Leading the pack is another longtime U.S. foe subject to a"maximum pressure" campaign led by the Trump administration. North Korea is believed to possess up to 83 submarines, though just how many of the old, mostly Cold War-era vessels are operational is unclear.
