Four bodies recovered from salvaged naval ship

SEOUL, April 15 (Yonhap) -- Salvage workers recovered the bodies of four missing
sailors from a sunken South Korean naval ship that was pulled out of the water
Thursday, the defense ministry said.
The identities of one of the bodies has been confirmed as Petty Officer First
Class Suh Dae-ho, the ministry said. The three others have yet to be identified.
The submerged stern of the 1,200-ton ship Cheonan was lifted earlier Thursday,
nearly three weeks after it mysteriously broke in two and sank near the Yellow
Sea border with North Korea on March 26.
