'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

'Guided-missile ships: The fourth and fifth PKG (Patrol Killer, Guided Missile) class vessels sit at a shipyard of STX Offshore and Shipbuilding in Jinhae, South Gyeongsang Province, Friday. The Navy plans to build about 15 more PKGs by 2015 in a bid to upgrade its fleet of patrol ships. The 440-ton PKG can sail at a top speed of 40 knots and is equipped with domestically-built ship-to-ship guided missiles with a range of 140 kilometers. It also is fitted with 76mm and 40mm guns, and a radar-evading stealth function.'
