North Korea said Friday it has launched a "tactical nuclear attack submarine" it has been developing for years, a step leader Kim Jong Un described as crucial in his efforts to build a nuclear-armed navy to counter the United States and its Asian allies.

Submarine No. 841 - named Hero Kim Kun Ok after a North Korean historical figure - will be one of the main "underwater offensive means of the naval force" of North Korea, Kim Jong Un said at the launch ceremony on Wednesday.

Analysts say the vessel appears to be a modified Soviet-era Romeo-class submarine which North Korea acquired from China in the 1970s and began producing domestically.
