After a week of intense negotiations pertaining to the ownership of twenty-four W80A Tomahawk medium range missiles stored in a nuclear weapons armory on Korea’s Busan Naval Base, US and Korean officials reached an agreement for the release of the nuclear devices back into the hands of the US Navy. Earlier in the week, a Korean special forces unit had seized control of the weapon’s facility and possession of the nuclear warheads. Korean officials, headed by Supreme Commander General Choe, asserted that the American military had failed to meet the deadline on the disposal settlement agreement; and therefore, legally abandoned the weapons in place, under the guidelines of the accord..
However; Pentagon officials insisted that a recovery ship had been in position for over two weeks, just off the coast, and was awaiting Korean authorization to dock at the naval facility and load the weapons along with other high value assets.
Neither side would discuss the terms agreed upon to resolve the standoff, however; Pentagon officials did verify that all nuclear devices were accounted for and again under the umbrella of the US Navy’s control. Yet, the Pentagon would not confirm that the weapons had actually been loaded onboard the USNS Mount Rainier, an ammunition frigate from the USNS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group. Unclassified Pentagon asset placement reports show that the carrier strike force’s position is currently stationary, with the group still located just off the southeastern coast of Korea in the Sea of Japan.
Though Pentagon sources insist that all weapons are currently in American hands, a rumor circulated Wednesday morning that maintained weapons researchers known to have worked with the former North Korean nuclear weapons program arrived at the naval base and accessed the nuclear weapons storage facility. A spokesperson for General Choe insisted that they had no knowledge of Korean weapons researchers being in the vicinity and no access to the weapons area had been granted to anyone, outside of authorized American officials. The same spokesperson also denied speculative reports that one of the devices had been removed from a Tomahawk missile and sent to Yougbyon, the North’s old nuclear research site, for covert examination and technical analysis.
