A foolhardy idea would be to surreptitiously go there while some other action is happening elsewhere and tug it out. Now, it’d be difficult to pull off and offers no upside and lots of downside, but it’d be very intrepid to pull off.

But what do you want to do with a 75 year old boat?

I've seen this come up a lot recently. Antisemitic, alt-right grifters have been using this incident as some sort of dogwhistle
I've seen the word "grifter" come up a lot recently. Anti-white people have been using the fact that people point out uncomfortable moments in history as some sort of dogwhistle
Another interesting spy ship saga is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

The boat? Not much. It’s the act that offers value.
The value of invading another sovereign nation's territory in order to repatriate some hunk object that has purely symbolic value?
Hardly seems worth the cost and massive fallout that would ensure.
Visited this last year, remarkably good condition. The Koreans were very keen to point out the size of the armoury and guns on board the ship.

English has plenty of words. Use some that convey something.

Hah, fun! Visited this a few years back. It's in great condition, particularly memorable things were the bullet holes (all highlighted in red paint) and the intro video[0], which is worth watching if only to experience the extremely distinct North Korean English accent.

How were you able to visit it, honest question? As an American myself, I wouldn't dare set foot in that country. Was a visit there an easy experience? Would you go back?
