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.

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 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:
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.

Some Korean defense analyst seems trying to argue instead going with F-35B, better to build the capacity of CVX with KF-21 navalised version. This's coming from article in Bemil Chosun.
The image seems building something closer to what French has in mind. Double catapults CATOBAR. This argument if I read basically base on developing KF-21 navalised version will be more beneficial then F-35B. Off course this in fact increase the dimensions on previous design that utilise 20 F-35B.

Some merit in a CATOBAR alternative like Hawkeye, F-35C as addition to navalized KF-21s and acquisition of MQ-25s (last item probably unlikely). Is the carrier project something SK needs or is it a counter to Japanese naval aviation efforts?View attachment 49483

I think it's largely a national pride thing. If Japan can build aircraft carriers, so can we! The CONOPS seems rather vague. I can see a use, though: an airfield that's harder to hit by N. Korean missiles than those on land in S. Korea. Buying F-35B for land basing might provide a similar ability for less money, though.

Longer term though, such an acquisition (providing that relevant CONOPS are also developed) could be wise for S. Korea. Right now the forces are all based around conflict with N. Korea, but there absolutely potential for S. Korea to come into conflict with other nations that are in eastern Asia. Such a conflict could involve access to rawmats and nat resources, but also SLOC to and from the region. AFAIK S. Korea, much like the PRC and Japan, do not possess much in the way of petroleum and are dependent on imports, much of which has to cross the SCS. Should any nation decide to declare the SCS as theirs, a S. Korean naval TF including a carrier would provide a broader range of options than just land-based maritime patrol/strike aircraft.
John Fedup

All true but let’s face it, PRC is the problem for SCS access. While carriers might provide important defence options, SKorea and Japan getting on the same page would be just, if not more, important. Perhaps today’s sad even in Japan could be the start for smoothing out relations.

It wasn't clear in this article what kind of weapon this actually is.

It's a guided 70 mm (2.75 in) folding fin aerial rocket with an imagining infrared seeker. Similar to the laser guided to DAGR, APKWS and GATR, just not requiring the target to be "painted"It wasn't clear in this article what kind of weapon this actually is.

It seems that funding for CVX, the country’s aircraft carrier program, has been axed in the 2023 national defense budget.
The Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported that CVX is facing a re-evaluation and there are even rumours that It looks as if the CVX program will be canceled.

There have been major defects found on the ROKN Son Won iL (Type 214) SSK fleet. The defects are in the inverter cables of seven of the fleet's subs whilst the other two had defects in the inverters.

"The modules, produced by Germany’s Siemens, are a critical component in a submarine’s propulsion system, with twelve installed in each submarine. Naval News reported earlier this year that three of the Son Won-il class submarines suffered from problems with the system."
