韩国海军装备以往都是接收美国退役舰艇,至今韩国所有驱逐舰仍为美舰。自70年代末,韩国开始重点投资发展造船业,现国内造船工业已跃居世界造船量第二,并自己设计建造了几级护卫舰,其中“蔚山”级是国产首批护卫舰。有关“蔚山”级的建造情况,见附表。 South Korea's naval equipment in the past are receiving the United States retired ships, so far all the destroyers in South Korea are still the United States. Since the late 1970s, South Korea began to invest heavily in the development of the shipbuilding industry. Now that the domestic shipbuilding industry has leapt to the second place in the world in terms of shipbuilding capacity, it has also designed and built several frigate vessels of its own. Among them, the “Ulsan” class is the first frigate made domestically. For the Ulsan-class construction, see the attached table.
