HJSC Launches 4 New PKMR Boats For The ROK Navy

The Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) and Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced that four 230-ton Patrol Killer Medium Rocket (PKMR) patrol ships produced by HJ shipbuilding & Construction (HJSC) were launched on May 12th. The ships are expected to greatly improve the ROKN’s ability to deal with asymmetric naval threats from North Korea. [...]

The PKMRs are more survivable and heavily armed than previous patrol boats. Equipment on board include the 130 mm guided anti-ship missile from LIG Nex1, a 76 mm main gun, an electronic warfare system, and advanced anti-ship missile countermeasures. The ships also have two remotely controlled 12.7 mm machine guns which will increase its effectiveness against North Korean missile ships at close range.
