While the frequency of North Korea's submarine and semi-submersible exercises increased this year reports show South Korean patrol ships ability to detect them was poor.
National Defense Committee lawmaker Shin Hak-yong said on Monday‚ that North Korea conducted submarine exercises twice from January to August 2008‚ and held drills five times during the same period in 2009.
However in 2010‚ that number rose to 28 and this year it has soared to 50.
The drills were most highly concentrated between June and August in the West Sea and the number of drills conducted more than doubled compared to the same period last year.
Moreover this month is the start of the crab fishing season‚ when North Korean and Chinese fishing boats frequently appear near the Northern Limit Line which opens up room for scuffles as North Korean ships try to chase Chinese boats away.
Meanwhile‚ Shin claims the South Korean Navy's vessels that are supposed to detect and destroy these North Korean submarines are old and outdated.
He said the reports from 2010 and 2011 show certain South Korean patrol ships and frigates recorded detection rates of less than 30 percent but a Navy official says this is not an accurate representation since detection levels change all the time because of the varying conditions of the sea.
