If the North has shown that its allowing its subs to fire on South ships, the South is not going to take any chances.

I've always kind of been curious on this kind of thing... doesn't a country usually do a formal "declaration of war" on another? If you're sinking subs on the basis of "wartime conditions", is that not declaring war? Is the North sinking a boat not a formal declaration? I don't really get this part of war and the formality of it.
I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more press, yesterday I was out with friends and mentioned this happened and nobody had a clue...and really the only reason I knew was this site. Seems like this is something that could actually escalate since, you know, people literally died from what appears to be an organized attack.
