<P> To date, the DPRK has indigenously produced over 200 personnel landing craft . This includes approximately 100 NAMPO personnel landing craft based on a former Soviet P - 6 torpedo boat hull . The NAMPO has a maximum speed of 40 knots (74 km / h) and a radius of 335 nmi (620 km) at 28 knots (52 km / h). The NAMPOs provide a limited amphibious capability, each carrying up to 30 troops with a basic combat load . Amphibious assaults against CFC probably would be small, clandestine landings involving two to six NAMPO craft; CHAHO or other naval craft could provide fire support . Other amphibious craft include 8 HANTAE medium landing ships, which can carry 3 to 4 light tanks, and approximately 125 KONG BANG amphibious hovercraft . </P> <P> The DPRK has a credible mine warfare capability . There are numerous small surface ships that are capable of delivering mines within both the navy and civilian sectors . Mines will be used to defend against amphibious assaults, defend strategic ports, and provide seaward flank protection for land forces . Defensive mine fields will be monitored by coastal observation teams and radar, and they will be supported by well emplaced artillery and missile batteries . This will make close approach and mine clearing operations extremely hazardous . DPRK has a large inventory of older technology mines, significant historical experience with their effectiveness, and, most importantly, the willingness to use them . </P> <P> For years, the Korean People's Navy stagnated with a number of ships becoming old and weapons turning obsolete, this peaked with an accident during drills, when the Chosun Ilbo reported that in mid-October 2013, one of the DPRK's Hainan Class submarine chasers and one of its smaller patrol boats sank during maneuvers in the Sea of Japan with an unknown loss of life . </P> <P> After 2013 surfaced on western analysis, a number of upgrades and new classes in service with the Navy appeared: most of this modernization's program is left to speculation and analysis of satellite images, due the absence of details released by North Korea . </P>
