It's an enormous risk to take, risking 100,000 dead (at least) just to sink one ship.
Me? I would evacuate Seoul entirely, and raze the North from stem to stern.

We have troops in SK for a reason and such a reason is starting to present itself. I would not overstate the power of NK's abilities. The current military has a large number of troops who were greatly weakened by the last big famine.
I would not go out of my way to start something, but we won't run from a provocation like that.

We have been running from direct DPRK provocations for decades.
Ever heard of the USS Pueblo?
DPRK does not need nukes at all to kill hundreds of thousands of civvies in Seoul. They have 10,000 artillery pieces in dug in dispersed positions well within range of the city for that.
