Daewoo Shipbuilding delivered South Korean Navy’s first 3,000-ton-class submarine capable of firing submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
The commissioning ceremony for the mid-class diesel air-independent propulsion submarine, named after South Korean independence leader Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, took place at the Okpo Shipyard of Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. on the southern island of Geoje.
After deployment, the submarine will take an active role as the country's strategic weapons system against threats, the South Korean Navy said in a release.
The vessel is the first of three 3,000-ton-class Changbogo-III Batch-I submarines that South Korea plans to build by 2023 with its own technologies under a 3.09 trillion won (US$2.7 billion) project launched in 2007.
