The ambition of South Korea or South Korea in having an aircraft carrier is
very eager.
The reason is that currently South Korea does not have an aircraft carrier
and still relies on the Dokdo class.
From the discourse on the South Korean aircraft carrier project, later the
ginseng country's naval defense system will be much more powerful.
According to navalnews.com, the concept of the South Korean aircraft
carrier, the CVX light carrier, has been released.
According to the information, it is known that the CVX light carrier has a
length of 265 meters and a width of 43 meters.
From these dimensions, the weight of the CVX light carrier is between 30,000
and 40,000 tons.
However, from the array of dimensions and weight, there is information that
has been revealed about the fantastic cost of the CVX light carrier.
And it doesn't matter if the international media explaining the fantastic
price of the CVX light carrier is a well-known one
Quoting from nationalinterest.org, the cost of the CVX light carrier is
around USD 1.87 billion.
From the very high cost, of course, this is only an illustration and not the
final stage of the price of the CVX light carrier carrier.
If it is true that the price is fixed, then the CVX light carrier will be
the most expensive made by South Korea.
In addition, it was informed from the naval news page that the CVX light
carrier is capable of operating 16 F-35B fighter aircraft.
It's not enough just the F-35B, but the CVX light carrier can operate eight
helicopters.
As a result, the CVX light carrier will also feature the latest automation
and technology in its class.
Therefore, the CVX light carrier carrier has a high level of technology and
has a crew of 440.
Please note that the CVX light carrier will have two islands and is similar
to the Queen Elizabeth (QE) class.
But it has been informed that the CVX light carrier does not have a ski
jump.
In addition, the carrier CVX light carrier is equipped with an AESA radar
designed by Hanwha.
As a result, the AESA radar on the CVX light carrier turns out to have S
band technology, which will have a range of 300 km.
Later the radar on the carrier CVX light carrier for long-range detection of
aircraft.
Then on the X band radar, the CVX light carrier will be used for short-range
detection.
From the capabilities of the carrier, the CVX light carrier will also
feature acoustic countermeasures for the LIG Nex1 torpedo.
It's not enough about the LIG Nex1 but the CVX light carrier also has the
K-SAAM missile system.
Then to cope with close-range attacks, there is also CIWS on the CVX light
carrier for close point defense.
From this array of technologies and weaponry, the CVX light carrier carrier
will be the flagship in the region.
Moreover, we are waiting for further information from South Korea regarding
the manufacture of the CVX light carrier carrier
