To cope with North Korea , to compete in the Japanese , South Korea Navy is considering the introduction of light aircraft carrier , to enhance combat effectiveness.
Earlier Navy commissioned a consultancy study , the report recommends South Korea should have two light aircraft carriers , so that once took place with the territorial sovereignty dispute quickly for military response and in urgent circumstances to protect and regain territorial waters , as fighters from onshore departure to 30-40 minutes , on the contrary in the disputed waters of the aircraft carrier fighter just two minutes . If North Korea and trying to occupy paekyong taeyonpyong other northwestern islands , the aircraft carrier combat power than onshore strong and fast.
Navy light aircraft carrier has developed three-step plan : The first step is the displacement of 18,800 tons of " Dokdo " ( Figure ) amphibious assault ship converted into a vertical lift aircraft used allows warships . The second step is to " Dokdo II" turned into a 20,000 to 30,000 tons class light aircraft carrier ; third step is to deploy two years in 2028-36 30,000-ton aircraft carrier . The military has spent $ 3.6 billion Korean won ( HK $ 26.03 million ) will be " Dokdo " converted into a light aircraft carrier .
In addition, Russia's " military Mercury News " reported that China had approximately 10 056 corvettes and more than 40 022-type missile boats , so that the PLA can build up to three offshore search attacks against enemy submarines battleship group , or a maximum of 10 surface ships against enemy missile battle , enough to sink U.S. aircraft carriers, but at the cost of nearly forty percent of the Chinese ship was destroyed.
South Korea, "Chosun Ilbo"
so, from that translated text, it can't be a new Neut CV :
1. that's modern aircraft carrier, NF focus on WWII ship (some WWI and WWII planned ship) .
2. that only Vertical lift aircraft and or Helicopter can land and takeoff on that CV.
