This report is one of a continuing series on North Korean ports and
naval installations.
The Songjon-Pando Naval Base, located 4.1 nm NE of the Munchon Naval
Base Wonsan, encompasses 3 previously targeted areas: Munchon Naval Base
Northeast, Panja-Ri Naval Facility, and Panja-Ri Naval Installation.
Although these three installations are not contiguous, the interrelation-
ship of the functions and close proximity of the installations to one
another dictate a single target name with the components described as to
function within the main complex.
Concurrent construction of facilities at the 3 components of the
base (although the main part of the operating area predates available
photography) suggests a unity of purpose. Observation of 1 Komar PTG at
the Munchon Naval Base Wonsan, the sighting on later coverage of a probable
Komar PTG stern-to at the crane-served quay at the underground patrol boat
pen, and the presence of 2 possible vessels in the entrance channel to
the water level tunnel suggest that Songjon-Pando was constructed as a
Komar PTG base.
