3600톤급 최신예 잠수함 2번함 '서희함' 확정, SLBM 10기 탑재 전력 확대

The name of the second vessel of the Republic of Korea Navy's next-generation core submarine, the Jang보고-3 Batch-2 class (3,600-ton class), has been officially designated as "Seohui." The Navy plans to commission the vessel in 2028 following a launching ceremony in the second half of this year and subsequent testing and evaluation. The Seohui, whose name has now been finalized, is a state-of-the-art submarine that represents a significant advancement over the existing Dosan An Changho-class (Jang보고-3 Batch-1). Its most notable feature is the substantial improvement in detection capabilities, armament capabilities, and survivability. Seohee ▲3,600-ton class, 89m in length, larger than the Batch-1 Dosan An Changho-class (3,000-ton class, 83m) ▲Improved target detection and processing capabilities through advanced sonar and combat systems ▲Vertical launch tubes for SLBMs expanded from 6 to 10 ▲Equipped with lithium-ion batteries and AIP (Air Independent Propulsion), capable of underwater operations for over 3 weeks; lithium-ion batteries offer longer submerged time, faster charging speeds, and higher energy efficiency ▲Scheduled for delivery to the Navy in 2028; launching ceremony to be held in the second half of this year News has also emerged regarding the 5th new frigate (FFX Batch-3), the ‘Pyeongtaek’. The 5th 3,600-ton class new frigate (129m in length, 14.8m in width) has been named ‘Pyeongtaek’. Delivery is scheduled for next year. Frigate Naming Principles: Frigate names are derived from the names of special cities, metropolitan cities, provinces, provincial capitals, and small and medium-sized cities. Following the first ship, the Chungnam, the second, the Gyeongbuk, the third, the Jeonnam, and the fourth, the Jeju, the fifth ship is the Pyeongtaek. Pyeongtaek is the location of the Navy's 2nd Fleet Command, the planned deployment site, and the name reflects its security symbolism as a key base for defending the West Sea. In particular, the name "Pyeongtaek" holds deep significance in the history of the Navy. The rescue ship of the same name (Pyeongtaek), which was active from 1997 to 2016, was deployed to major sites, including the rescue and salvage operation of the Cheonan in 2010 and the rescue of missing persons from the Sewol ferry in 2014. The spirit of the Pyeongtaek, which is currently being utilized as a Maritime Safety Experience Center after its retirement, is now being carried on in this state-of-the-art frigate. The newly constructed Pyeongtaek is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy next year. *Pyeongtaek Naming Principles:* - Recently, the name of the second vessel of the latest 3,600-ton class submarine was decided as ‘Seohee.’ Who is he? And what is the reason for naming it this way? What are the performance and capabilities of the Navy’s latest 3,600-ton class submarine, the ‘Seohee’? I heard that the Vertical Launch System (VLS) has increased from 6 to 10. What has changed compared to the existing Dosan An Changho? What are the performance and capabilities of the fifth vessel of the new 3,600-ton class frigate (FFX Batch-3), the ‘Pyeongtaek’? I understand that the name Pyeongtaek was to be used in the past; what is the reason for using it again? What is the reason for naming ships after special cities, metropolitan cities, provinces, provincial capitals, and small and medium-sized cities? What changes are expected to be brought about by the commissioning of the Seohee and Pyeongtaek vessels in the future regarding the ROK Navy’s capabilities and our defense exports?
