ROKS Shin Dol-seok (SS-082)
ROKS ''Shin Dol-seok'' (SS-082) is the ninth boat of the ''Sohn Won-yil''-class submarine in the Republic of Korea Navy. She is named after the general, Shin Dol-seok. Design There are media reports that the ''Sohn Won-yil'' is equipped with eight 533 mm torpedo tubes, and that South Korea will mount a Korean Tomahawk missile, Hyunmoo-3, with a range of 500 km. It is said that they are also developing versions with a range of 1000 km and 1500 km, but there was no confirmation of whether this version could be mounted on a 533mm torpedo tube. Originally, the American Tomahawk missile was conceptually designed to be launched from a 533mm torpedo tube. Korea has also recently succeeded in localizing it. The Cheonryong missile with a range of 500 km has been installed in the ''Sohn Won-yil''-class and has been deployed and is in operation. Germany, which exported the ''Sohn Won-yil''-class ( class 214), is using a Type 212 submarine that uses the same AIP system with the same di ...

RIMPAC
RIMPAC, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, is the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise. RIMPAC is held biennially during June and July of even-numbered years from Honolulu, Hawaii, with the exception of 2020 where it was held in August.

Type 212 Submarine
The German Type 212 class (German: U-Boot-Klasse 212 A), also Italian ''Todaro'' class, is a diesel-electric submarine developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) for the German and Italian navies. It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens proton exchange membrane (PEM) compressed hydrogen fuel cells. The submarines can operate at high speed on diesel power or switch to the AIP system for silent slow cruising, staying submerged for up to three weeks with little exhaust heat. The system is also said to be vibration-free, extremely quiet and virtually undetectable. Type 212 is the first fuel cell propulsion system equipped submarine series. Development At the beginning of the 1990s the German Navy was seeking a replacement for the Type 206 submarines. Initial study started on a Type 209 improved design, with AIP capability, called Type 212. The final programme started in 1994 as the two navies of Germany and I ...

Attack Submarines
An attack submarine or hunter-killer submarine is a submarine specifically designed for the purpose of attacking and sinking other submarines, surface combatants and merchant vessels. In the Soviet Navy, Soviet and Russian Navy, Russian navies they were and are called "multi-purpose submarines". They are also used to protect friendly surface combatants and Ballistic missile submarine, missile submarines. Some attack subs are also armed with submarine-launched cruise missile, cruise missiles, increasing the scope of their potential missions to include land targets. Attack submarines may be either Nuclear marine propulsion, nuclear-powered or diesel-electric ("conventionally") powered. In the United States Navy hull classification symbol, naming system, and in the equivalent NATO system (STANAG 1166), nuclear-powered attack submarines are known as SSN (hull classification symbol), SSNs and their Anti-submarine warfare, anti-submarine (ASW) diesel-electric predecessors are SSK (hull ...

Dokdo-class Amphibious Assault Ship
The ''Dokdo''-class amphibious assault ship (, ) is a class of landing platform helicopter (LPH) amphibious assault ships operated by the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN). Designed and built by Hanjin Heavy Industries (HHIC), the amphibious landing ships were meant to enhance South Korea's amphibious operation capability, both in terms of assault and military operations other than war (MOOTW). Development The ROK Navy required a versatile landing ship with amphibious capabilities in its program to build a blue-water navy. In the end, Hanjin's ''Dokdo'' design was chosen to fulfill this need. The—also built by HHIC—was chosen as the landing craft air cushion (LCAC) to operate from the ship. Specifications The LPX is an amphibious warfare ship which includes a well deck to accommodate amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) and two LCAC, the first of which (LSF 631) was acquired in April 2007. The ship is long, wide, with a 14,000-ton (empty), or 18,000-ton (full) displacement an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Commissioned (ship)
Ship commissioning is the act or ceremony of placing a ship in active service and may be regarded as a particular application of the general concepts and practices of project commissioning. The term is most commonly applied to placing a warship in active duty with its country's military forces. The ceremonies involved are often rooted in centuries-old naval tradition. Ship naming and launching endow a ship hull with her identity, but many milestones remain before she is completed and considered ready to be designated a commissioned ship. The engineering plant, weapon and electronic systems, galley, and other equipment required to transform the new hull into an operating and habitable warship are installed and tested. The prospective commanding officer, ship's officers, the petty officers, and seamen who will form the crew report for training and familiarization with their new ship. Before commissioning, the new ship undergoes sea trials to identify any deficiencies needing correct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ceremonial Ship Launching
Ceremonial ship launching involves the performance of ceremonies associated with the process of transferring a vessel to the water. It is a nautical tradition in many cultures, dating back thousands of years, to accompany the physical process with ceremonies which have been observed as public celebration and a solemn blessing, usually but not always, in association with the launch itself. Ship launching imposes stresses on the ship not met during normal operation and, in addition to the size and weight of the vessel, represents a considerable engineering challenge as well as a public spectacle. The process also involves many traditions intended to invite good luck, such as christening by breaking a sacrificial bottle of champagne over the bow as the ship is named aloud and launched. Methods There are three principal methods of conveying a new ship from building site to water, only two of which are called "launching". The oldest, most familiar, and most widely used is th ...

Hyunmoo-3
The Hyunmoo-3 is a cruise missile fielded by the South Korean military designed by Agency for Defense Development (ADD). The name Hyunmoo () comes from a mythical beast described as the "Guardian of the Northern Sky", perhaps hinting North Korea. Design and development As a signatory of the multilateral Missile Technology Control Regime, South Korea agrees to refrain from importing a non-indigenous ballistic missile with a warhead larger than 500 kg, or a range of more than 300 km. In addition, a bilateral agreement between the ROK and US limits indigenous South Korean produced missiles to no more than in range, and warheads no larger than . (In September 2017, the presidents of the ROK and the US agreed "in principle" to lift these bilateral limits, increasing the possibility of a longer-range, more powerful Hyunmoo-4 in the future.) Therefore, a heavy emphasis was put on developing long-range cruise missiles by the South Korean government. With the introduction of H ...
