Been trying to find more info on this… but nothing in the news US media and nothing really from sources from outside the US.

Everyone involved is staying a little to quiet. If this was torpedoed attack from the North and the US and South Korean does nothing…. We will lose too much face. Either lose face or millions of people die….what do you guys think? This ship was 288' long and 32' wide.

The US already have the 7th fleet based in Japan on portal and 29,000 US Marines ready for war, probably on the highest alert possible. North Korea is no joke and will not be like Iraq.

Nothing will happen out of this

I hope nothing happens, but this is not just exchanging artillery rounds. A freaking ship got sunk, not rubber craft. I don’t think you can not do nothing if this was a torpedoed attack from the North that sunk the ship

If it was NK and they think that they are ready to start something our navy will turn their land into an ashtray.Then will come the Airforce and then the Marines will come and clean up.

Serves S. Korea right if their ship entered into N. Korea's terriorty. S. Korea or the US would've done the same.

And the army will be installing Burger-kings, PX/BX, and a ford dealer ship right behind the Marines. GO Army!!!! Ah...I was army...

NOTHING in the article that was linked by the OP say it was torpedoed! Hype!!

The article does state:

"The waters around Baeknyeong island are rocky, and some senior government officials speculated that the sinking may have been an accident, not an attack, South Korean media said."


"It's looking more and more like it was just an accident that happens on a ship," Carl Baker, an expert on Korean military relations at the Pacific Forum CSIS think tank in Honolulu, said by telephone."

Seriously, I don't see how Baeknyeong Island would belong to S. Korea and not to N. Korea.
