SEOUL, South Korea — The United States deployed a nuclear-powered submarine capable of carrying about 150 Tomahawk missiles to South Korea on Friday, a day after North Korea resumed missile tests in protest of the U.S.-South Korean live-fire drills. It said the U.S. submarine arrived at the southeastern port city of Busan but didn’t say how long it would stay in South Korean waters. The South Korean and U.S. militaries have been expanding their exercises in reaction to North Korea’s provocative run of missile tests since last year. The nuclear ballistic missile submarine hasn't come to South Korea. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said Friday that military search crews have salvaged what it believes is part of the crashed North Korean rocket.
