SEOUL (BNS) - North Korea may have been hoping to throw a little shade when its latest missile misfired last Tuesday, but the United States Navy decided to shrug it off and add more, well, sunshine to its line-up. As if one nuclear-powered submarine in South Korean waters wasn’t enough, the U.S. Navy has introduced the USS Annapolis to the party. This is the second U.S. nuclear-powered submarine to arrive in South Korea in a week, marking a significant upgrade in American strategic assets deployed to deter the feather-ruffling North Korean regime. When asked about the new arrival, USS Annapolis Captain, William Salt, remarked, "We thought it'd be nice to even out the tan lines on this side of the Pacific. After all, the weather forecast did promise us an abundance of nuclear sunshine." The high-powered sub docked at a naval base on South Korea's scenic Jeju Island. Sources suggest the stopover is to load up on everything from MREs to Taylor Swift albums - a morale boost for their unspecified operational mission. Because really, what says deterrence better than "Blank Space" echoing across the watery abyss? "The two countries' navies plan to strengthen the combined effort to stare down Kim Jong Un's delusions of grandeur," said a highly placed South Korean Naval official, who hopefully owns a pair of Ray-Bans to shield their delicate eyes from the second nuclear sun now brightening up their coastline. While the North Korean regime was mum on this particular move, the presence of the USS Annapolis is likely to light up talks between the two Koreas, adding an extra spark to the already heated conversation. After all, rumors swirl that the North Korean dictator, while fearing the musical prowess of Taylor Swift, is also irrationally afraid of tans. In the end, whether it's musical warfare or sun-powered super weapons, it turns out that both the U.S. and the South have a burning desire to pour some cold water on North Korea's sizzling dreams of power play. Although Taylor Swift has yet to respond to her unexpected role in international diplomacy, we do wonder whether the lyrics of her next hit might be penned with a certain missile-happy dictator in mind. Now who wouldn’t be shaking off that for sure?
