The strange part is this is the wrong season for North Korea to even think about invading South Korea. Fall and Winter are the best seasons for a invasion. The reason? The Rice Patties are drained in winter allowing the use of tanks and other vehicles to move without the use of roads which could be mined. North Koreas entire plan is to quickly take the South and present a fait acompli to the world before the US, the UN, China, etc, etc can raise a stink. The real fear isn't of war breaking out but of the North Koreans to bang there drums and say they will stop if we give them food, money, etc. That's just a losing proposition as anytime they need more they begin to bang away on the drums again and someone will just pony up to shut them up again.
As for there subs, maybe they have German Style underground Sub Pens? Wouldn't be hard to build them and they could easily hide pens themselves but even a dry dock to rebuild them. They have plenty of experience in tunnel construction for both troop movement but even as runways. A set of Sub pens should be childs play.
