北朝鮮の金正恩総書記が、駆逐艦「カン・ゴン」の航海試験を視察したと6月6日の国営メディアが報じた。
金総書記は木曜日に「カン・ゴン」に乗船し、操縦性能と運用状態を確認した。同氏は海軍の戦闘能力と核抑止力の強化を求めた。また、核戦争抑止力の一翼を担い、水面下や水上で敵を攻撃できる強力な海軍の建設は、朝鮮労働党の5カ年国防発展政策における最も重要な核心課題であると述べた。金総書記は、水中秘密兵器や1万トン級駆逐艦を含む近代化目標は確実に達成されるとの自信を表明した。さらに、駆逐艦「チェ・ヒョン」と「カン・ゴン」を早急に就役させるよう指示した。朝鮮中央通信（KCNA）が公開した写真には、娘のジュエ氏が同行する様子が写っていた。5,000トン級の「カン・ゴン」は、昨年5月の最初の進水試行時に転覆したが、羅津造船所で修理され、6月に再進水していた。
