Welcome to Korea Finder. The way this contest works is that each week a new image is posted and the first reader to accurately describe or locate the image gets a point. At the end of the year the reader with the highest amount of points will win a Korea related book of their choice.
So who knows where this image is taken at and its recent significance?

The submarine naval base at Sinpo North Korea near where North Korea recently launched a ballistic missile from a submarine.
Nice guess JoeC…
…except all of their docks face south.
How about the recent submarine explosion in South Korea.
I would give the exact location but I am starting to LIKE getting screwed out of a point.
It’s the new pier at Dokdo Island. Did you know, Dokdo belongs to Korea? 😉
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Joe C. took that one, and I can’t think of any way to Blame CH for my own tardiness.
There is no reference to what is north or south here. The map can be rotated in any direction. That is something GI Korea has done before.
Speaking of no reference, you seem to be lacking one yourself. Standing up and shouting “Sinpo” because it looks like photo of Submarines is not Finding. Link us the image of where you found this “submarine naval base” because I sure don’t see it anywhere along the Sinpo coastline.

The picture doesn’t show any land references, only the end of a pier. All the things next to and on the pier are not fixed so unless you find a picture of it at the same time this was taken it would be hard to compare.
I see what looks like two cranes, but that could also be two shore power supports. I looked at the piers at Sinpo, but Google seemed to lose resolution before I was sure.
The structure at the end of the pier looks like a Change of Command pavilion. If the pic was taken recently, fatty Kim may have stood there to deliver a speech on how awesome his haircut is, and yeah, good job on that missile thing.
This is definitely the ROK naval base near Busan. Those submarines are too small and not rusty enough to be KPN subs. Here are the coordinates – the pictures match. 35.134973, 128.620098
I’m at work so no play for me but just to let you all know, GI doesn’t use the Maps website, he uses the Earth application.
Congradulations, sfasdfsadf.
You get the point for showing the submarine dock in Jinhae where the explosion happened.
While everyone else was arguing about whatever fantasy came into their heads, you actually read my comment and looked it up.
Well-earned, sir.
Dang, you gave a serious clue, but I couldn’t find anything on the news here in the States.
I think Chickenhead wanted to get intentionally screwed out of a point, so I will oblige! 😉
sfasdfsadf, gets the point for identifying the submarine pier at the ROK Naval base in Jinhae where a recent tragic explosion occurred.
Yo… I can’t do Finders at work because so much is blocked. I couldn’t see the image you posted so get your panties outta the bunch they’re in ya drama queen. 😛
My martyr complex gets stronger.
Come to your Korea Finder Lord and Savior!
