Fourth 1,800-ton, Type 214 Diesel Electric Submarine Launched For South Korean Navy
Type 214 Diesel Electric Submarine will perform Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti Surface Warfare (ASuW) missions once it is handed over to the South Korean Navy next year.
South KoreanPresident Park Geun-hye and South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin attended the ceremony.
As these new 214s are clearly the future for the South Korean Navy. Korea should donate one of the older Type 209 Submarines to the Thailand Navy. This would jump start the Thai Navy submarine program and probably result in future submarine sales to Thailand.
