South Korean shipbuilders unveil competing carrier designs

BUSAN, South Korea — Two shipbuilders have each displayed their conceptual designs for the South Korean Navy’s future light aircraft carrier, code-named CVX.

The South Korean companies unveiled their offerings at the four-day International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition, a biennial naval defense show, which began June 9 in the southern port city of Busan.

The MADEX show is taking place four months after South Korea’s arms procurement agency announced the government tentatively earmarked about $2 billion to build a homemade 30,000-ton aircraft carrier to enter service by 2033. The Defense Ministry is conducting a feasibility study of the project for final approval by the National Assembly.

Continues, including "Rolls-Royce claims it’s the only manufacturer in the world that has provided naval marine gas turbine generators into front-line IFEP-powered destroyers and aircraft carriers. “The Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, due to visit South Korea later this year, combine two MT30 [36-megawatt] gas turbine alternators with four medium speed diesel generators delivering 112 MW of electrical power,” the company said in a statement."
