한화오션, 모로코에 장보고-Ⅲ 제안...캐나다 탈락 뒤 반격

It has been reported that Hanwha Ocean has launched a counterattack following its elimination from the Canadian project by proposing two 3,600-ton Jang보고-Ⅲ Batch 2 submarines to Morocco. Known to feature a world-first combination of lithium batteries and vertical launch tubes, the project is evaluated as one that could influence the security landscape of the Mediterranean. Analysis suggests that a head-on competition is expected between Morocco, which seeks to counter Algeria's Kilo-class submarine and cruise missile capabilities, and France in a scenario where arch-rival Spain is excluded.
