The 17-ton-class torpedo boat (No. 21) in the photo took part as command ship in a naval battle in the waters off Jumunjin during the Korean war (1950-1953), sinking the US Navy’s 17 300-ton-class heavy cruiser Baltimore and damaging a 14 000-ton-class light cruiser.
The boat which was awarded the title of DPRK Hero is on display at the open-air weapons exhibition section of the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in the capital city of Pyongyang.
