Once in service, the 120 m long 5600 ton Ganghwado, which has an overall beam of 19 m, will supplement the 103 m-long, 3200-ton Cheonghaejin auxiliary submarine rescue ship, which was commissioned into the RoKN in November 1996 and is able to operate in waves of 2 m or smaller.
So the South-Korean Navy will soon have two submarine rescue ships.

Good article including a Video from Navalnews on the ROKNs Light Carrier Project. Very interesting design from HHI which has partnered with Babcock. DSME signed a similar alliance with Fincantieri at MADEX 2021.
Will be an interesting competition, they are both between 35,000-45,000t able to operate around 30 manned Aircraft and the HHI design includes a separate Flight deck for UAVs

ROKN release CG video on their future CG operation. The design for their future Light Carrier from my understanding not yet finish. This seems this CG just shown more on the concept om how it will be used in the future.

This video more on public display from ROKN Naval week.

South Korea was set Tuesday to hold a ceremony launching a new frigate named after the PCC-772 Cheonan, a Pohang Class corvette torpedoed by North Korea in 2010.

The ceremony for the 122 meter long Deagu Class/Incheon Batch II/FFX-II frigate FFG-826 Cheonan, was scheduled to take place at the shipyard of Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. in Ulsan, some 410 kilometers southeast of Seoul.

|“Light aircraft carriers are unnecessary in our security environment. The light carrier gives us no substantive advantage in terms of military strategy and operations; the carrier will be nothing more than a ‘money-eating hippopotamus’.”|

But still, the new defence budget for 2022 is approved by the National Assembly, including the budget for the new aircraft carrier program.

ROK Navy Finds Major Defects on Three of its Type 214 Submarines - Naval News

The Republic of Korea Navy (ROK Navy) announced that defects were found in 3 of the 9 Son Won-il-class submarines, the South Korean variants of the Type 214, currently in active service.

www.navalnews.com

The ROK Navy found defects in the cables of the inverter module, one of the central components in the propulsion system, aboard ROKS Son Won-il, ROKS Yoon Bong-gil, and ROKS Yoo Gwan-soon. These are the first, fifth, and sixth boats of the class. Each submarine will have to go through a complex overhaul to receive repairs. This will immobilize each vessel at least four months.

To make matters worse, the inverter modules, produced by Siemens, cannot be fixed in Korean shipyards due to legal barriers concerning technology transfers and intellectual property. Therefore, the parts will need to be shipped to Germany for repairs, with the round way trip expected to last 2 months, leading to each submarine being out of action for at least 6 months.

@Meriv90 You been them them Italian grapes again? Didn't your mama tell you that it was bad for you and make you forgetful? Or is that marriage, I can never remember which. Anyway you forgot to comment after the copy and paste. Do it again and the moderators might have to put you on a diet of English food and wine.

Initial AESA radar development by Hanwha Systems was for South Korea’s KF-X/KF-21 domestic stealth fighter projects. The KF-X project is an ambitious, huge, complicated and expensive project, but the knowledge and expertise learned in this project also contributes to other defence programs.

South Korea's AESA Radar Technology to Benefit ROK Navy Programs - Naval News

South Korea is on the verge of successful development of the AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar. Applications will be ROK Navy's FFX Batch III, KDDX, KF-21 and L-SAM.

Looks like the future of the ROKN CVX maybe in doubt. The incoming Minister of Defence has expressed reservations about the program saying:

“There are diverse opinions on the CVX program. I think we need to carefully evaluate our priorities by taking into account several factors including strategic and tactical operational doctrines, military requirements, national interest, and cost efficiency,” .​

The program has been controversial within SK and the incoming governing party has been highly critical of it. This will be an interesting development to follow.
