South Korea decommissions 3 Pohang-class corvettes, 5 Chamsuri-class fast patrol boatsSouth Korea decommissions 3 Pohang-class corvettes, 5 Chamsuri-class fast patrol boats
No confirmation has been made on the fate of the decommissioned ships.
The ROKN has been modernizing its naval forces, retiring frontline combat ships from the 1980s including the Pohang-class corvettes, Ulsan-class frigates and Chamsuri-class fast patrol boats.
Over the years, these ships have been replaced with the Incheon and Daegu-class frigates, as well as the upcoming FFX-3 frigate, as well as the Yoon Youngha-class patrol vessels.|
Seveal of the Pohang-class corvettes have already been transferred to other countries including Colombia, Egypt, Peru, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
