ULSAN, April 9 (Yonhap) -- Firefighters were searching for one worker who disappeared after a Navy submarine caught fire while undergoing maintenance Thursday at a shipyard in the southeastern city of Ulsan, officials said.
The fire broke out on the ROKS Hong Beom-do docked at the HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. shipyard at 1:58 p.m., prompting some 40 people inside the vessel to evacuate.
Fire authorities got the blaze fully under control at 3:56 p.m. after deploying some 30 pieces of equipment, but the vessel is reportedly full of smoke.
Officials are currently searching for the missing woman in her 60s, identified as a cleaner from a contractor.
The submarine had entered the shipyard to undergo hull and equipment maintenance.
