Edit: I would not call less than 200 total ships "an impressive naval force", but that's just me.

I think you should do more research on North Korea's military. Guess what? They don't have shields.
If Japan is in danger (which they are), they are allowed to protect themselves. Japan Air Self-Defense Force front-line formations include three ground-attack squadrons (a squadren that can attack the ground, WITH MISSLES!!). Those squadrens easily have the range to do attack runs on NK, espically if they can get refueled in South Korea a few times before North Korea figures out what's going on. If you want a good laugh, send up the Soviet-era airforce that North Korea has and put them up against the modern technology of Japan.
As for the 200 total ships comment....again Japan has vastly superior technology to North Korea in every way. I'd love to see a Tachikaze class destroyer take on a North Korean frigate or corvette.
