Hmm, South Korea’s First Aircraft Carrier Looks Awfully Familiar
The South Korean Navy has released images of its planned first aircraft carrier.
The carrier will operate the same version of the F-35 used by the U.S. Marine Corps.
The ship bears a strong resemblance to the Royal Navy’s new carriers, but there are important differences.

Babcock teams up with HHI to bid to build Korean carrier
Babcock International has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hyundai Heavy Industries in order to work together to bid to build the Republic of Korea’s new Aircraft Carrier.
The ship will make use of an axial flight deck similar to those used by the Tarawa, Wasp and America class amphibious assault ships of the United States Navy. The South Korean Ministry of National Defense confirmed in August 2020 that twenty F-35Bs would be procured for the 45,000 tonne CVX.

South Korea Gets ‘A Shot In The Arm’ In Anti-Submarine Warfare As Three Destroyers Return With Major Upgrades
The combat capability of the South Korean Navy is likely to increase significantly as three of its KDX-1 class destroyers have gone through major upgrades.
After an elaborate program that focused on combat-specific enhancements, the last of the upgraded destroyer was secured by the South Korean Navy. The new addition is seen as a much-needed breather for the Navy.
The South Korean Navy acquired the last of three modified Gwanggaeto Daewang (KDX-1)-class destroyers, Eulji Mundeok, marking the end of a performance enhancement project, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), reported Naval Today.
The vessel was given to the Navy on December 28 after receiving increased combat capabilities, as previously reported. In 2018, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME), a South Korean shipbuilder, was awarded a contract to renovate and repair three KDX-I class destroyers.

Note: "From the mid-2020s, the Korean Navy aims to acquire another six destroyers designated as the KDDX or KDX-IV. These destroyers, which are expected to weigh between 6,000 and 8,000 tonnes, will fill a gap between the 10,000-ton KDX-III and the older 4,200-ton KDX-II workhorse."
