Recently, South Korea held a keel laying ceremony for the amphibious landing ship . Of course, this is not South Korea's first amphibious landing ship. The construction of the second amphibious landing ship, the first amphibious landing ship " Dokdo " was put into service in 2007. Although it took 10 years, the second ship that began construction in South Korea does not look much different from the first "Doudao", so let's take a look at the Independence today.
"Duodao" amphibious assault ship has a full radius of 19,000 tons , with a total length of 199 meters and a width of 31 meters. The crew exceeds 300 , which is larger than the Italian Garibaldi-class light aircraft carrier and even the Japanese helicopter destroyer with a full load displacement of 16,000 tons. The "Dudao" adopts the straight-through deck design of the quasi-aircraft carrier , and the air delivery capability will be very powerful. It can carry up to 11 helicopters for , which can take off and land 5 to 8 helicopters at the same time, and can carry 2 hovercraft for landing. Dudao has 5 to 8 helicopters, which can transport the landing troops within 30 minutes and are responsible for air alert tasks for landing operations. At present, the Dokdo does not carry STOVL fighter jets like the F-35B, but its deck, hangar and takeoff and landing sizes meet the conditions. The second ship is expected to be delivered to the Navy for official service as early as 2020. Dokdo is equipped with a US-German-made RIM-116 Ram air defense missile. The launch system is a 21-connected launcher with a speed of Mach 2, a combat distance of 9.3 kilometers, a combat interception altitude of 12 kilometers, and a single-shot interception probability reaches 84.6%. It can intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles. has their own advantages compared with my country's "Kunlun Mountain" landing ship ! The landing ship of the Kunlun Mountain landing ship is 210 meters long and 27 meters wide. Its full load displacement is 18,500 tons, so in terms of tonnage, the Dudao is roughly the same as the Kunlun Mountain. However, the Kunlun Mountain can be placed in four landing hovercrafts, so my country's Kunlun Mountain has more powerful combat capabilities. At the same time, the Kunlun Mountains did not use a direct deck, and two aircraft can take off and land at the deck at the same time, which will be far behind the Dudao. Go to the Gulf of Aden to escort Kunlun Mountain number
