“元山”级大型布雷舰是韩国现代船厂于1994年12月开工建造的,1996年9月下水,1997年9月正式入役。之所以称其为大型布雷舰,是从两方面衡量的。一是从排水量来说,“元山”级布雷舰排水量为3300吨,这在各国海军并不多见的布雷舰中是屈指可数的。除了瑞典海军的“卡尔斯克鲁纳”级布雷舰的排水量是3550吨以外,大多数布雷舰的排水量都在1OOO多吨左右。二是从其担当的使命任务来讲,由于“元山”级布 “Wonsan” large-scale mine-laying ship Hyundai Shipyard in South Korea started construction in December 1994, launched in September 1996, September 1997 officially entered the service. The reason why it is called a large mine-laying ship is measured in two ways. First, from the displacement, the “Wonsan” mine-class displacement of 3300 tons of mines, which Navy in many countries are rare in the mines is one of the few. With the exception of the 3550-tonne displacement of the Swedish Navy's Karlskrona mine, most of the mine-warships displace more than 1 000 tons. Second, from its mission as a task, in terms of “Wonsan” cloth
