North Korea on Tuesday commissioned its largest-ever warship, a 5,000-ton destroyer that military analysts say could give Pyongyang’s adversaries something more to think about in a time of crisis.

Kim Jong Un announces North Korea's plan to build two warships annually, enhancing the navy's military capabilities over five years.

The leader is aiming to construct two vessels a year, both of a larger class than the newly commissioned Choe Hon destroyer.
