Wargaming.net, makers of World of Warships and known around the globe for giving teens the power to blow each other up using decades old hardware, recently made an announcement regarding the future of the game:
“In order to make our game as historically accurate as possible, our next patch for World of Warships will include a brand new set of playable ships modeled after the navy of North Korea.”
Reactions from gamers have been mostly positive bordering on ecstatic. We spoke to a few MMAs (Massively Multiplayer Admirals) about the ability to take command of these new vessels.

"You have to remember that history would be different if the North Korean Navy hadn't participated in the both the World Wars, or so my American public school education tells me,” said Admiral WetDinghy. “This is a very responsible move by Wargaming to add them to the lineup as I am pretty sure we would all be speaking Italian had North Korea not intervened.”
Admiral WarInMyPants said, "Hallelujah! They finally gave us OP ships! I highly doubt anyone is going to bother playing any other countries once this patch hits."
Historians on the other hand weren't too impressed. We spoke to a historian who wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing tenure for spending even thirty seconds thinking about this topic, who stated, "North Korean Navy? I know the common stereotype that has manifested in our society is that computer game designers do tend to indulge in recreational drug use such as marijuana, but one has to ask, ‘What are they smoking?’ and ‘Can I have a hit?’"
Wargaming.net are reluctant to release too much information at this point, but did share at least a couple ships and their stats that will definitely be part of the North Korean lineup.Historians on the other hand weren't too impressed.
