Pyongyang, July 17 (KCNA) -- On display at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in the DPRK is the torpedo boat No. 21 telling the feats of the Korean People's Army (KPA) seamen.
During the last Fatherland Liberation War, this 17-ton boat, the flagship of the Second Torpedo Boat Squadron, made a great service in the naval battle in the waters off Jumunjin to sink the U.S. imperialists' heavy cruiser Baltimore of 17 300 tons.
After the naval battle, the U.S. imperialists said that it would make even gods weep, and media of the world highlighted the battle, reporting that torpedo boats sank a heavy cruiser and it was not a battle but a miracle and calling it a mystery of the DPRK.
