North Korean authorities appeared to have tried to hide its warship disaster by placing blue tarpaulin across the partially submerged wreck.
Tyrant Kim Jong-un slammed the "serious accident" at the launch of his new 5,000-ton warship after it was "crushed" and left lying on its side.
The humiliated North Korean dictator branded the catastrophic launch as a "criminal act" which could not be tolerated.
The rare admission of failure came after the fuming despot witnessed the disastrous spectacle in the port city of Chongjin on Wednesday.
Mortified Kim watched on in horror as the new destroyer, thought to be built with help from Russian despot Vladimir Putin, lost balance during its launch ceremony.
