purely from the comparison of the strength of maritime power, South Korean Navy currently has 170 ships, with a total displacement of about 180,000 tons. The strength of the South Korean Navy cannot be underestimated. So today I will talk about the South Korean quasi-aircraft carrier "Dudao". It is reported that the ship carried out its longest-range navigation mission after it started service in 2007. " Dokdo " is the amphibious landing ship built by South Korea. It is the largest tonnage warship in South Korea so far - a displacement of 14,000 tons. The ship was launched in July 2005. It is 199 meters long and 31 meters wide. It has functions such as landing forces, command, air defense, and anti-submarine. It is considered to be a small aircraft carrier in South Korea.
"Dudao" amphibious assault ship uses the most advanced high-speed and better performance composite gas turbine and gas turbine (COGAG) system. The main engine is a 4-seater LM2500 gas turbine, each with a rated power of 30,000 horsepower and a total power of 120,000 horsepower. It is produced by South Korea's Samsung Group under the authorization of General Electric Power Company in the United States. The four-seater turbine is connected to the reverse gear with two FrancoTosi variable speed variable speed resistance, driving two five-blade variable pitch propellers. The design of this propeller is in line with the MIL-S-901DA-class standard and the US Navy's adjustable pitch propeller specifications, which can effectively reduce the underwater noise generated during the operation of the ship. Its maximum speed is 23 knots, and its endurance is about 8,000 miles when sailing 16 knots. The amphibious assault ship of the Dokdo has only short-range air defense weapons. Its bow will be equipped with a goalkeeper 30mm seven-tube near-force air defense system developed by the Dutch Thalis Company. The rate of fire is 4,200 rounds per minute, a range of 3,000 meters, an initial velocity of 1,020 meters per second, a missile reserve of 1,190 rounds, a total weight of 6 tons, a killing probability of 85%, a reaction time of 4 seconds, a pitch angle of -25 degrees to +85 degrees, and a total of more than ten goalkeeper systems were deployed on several destroyers in service in South Korea. In addition, the Dokdo will also be equipped with the RIM-116 Ram air defense missile combined with the United States and Germany, which uses the warhead of the Rattlesnake missile. and rocket engine , combined with the Super Rattlesnake's header, the launch system is a 21-connected launcher. It is currently recognized as the best sea-based near-force air defense missile in service, with a speed of 1.5~2 Mach, 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 anti-ship missiles guided by non-active radars or even supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Total, after possessing the Dokdo, the South Korean Navy's amphibious force delivery capabilities have undergone considerable qualitative and quantitative changes. Just one Dokdo can force North Korea to increase the coastal security forces of two divisions!
