U.S. Navy Deploys Largest Nuclear-Armed Submarine to South Korea
----------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Navy says it will station its largest nuclear-armed submarine
in South Korea for the first time in four decades. This comes after
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and President Joe Biden agreed to a
deal in April in which South Korea agreed not to develop its own nuclear
weapons in exchange for a more aggressive U.S. nuclear posture toward
North Korea.
