The contract value was about $ 587 million.

As Jane's portal notes, the first stage of the delivery of six FFX-1 (Incheon) frigates is now being completed in Korea, which will replace the nine Ulsan-class light frigates in service. The second phase of the program involves the construction of up to 9-frigates FFX-2 on the upgraded project.

The transfer of the first (head) FFX-2 frigate to the customer is planned for 2017.

According to the resource, "the length of the ship is 122 m, width - 14 m, standard displacement - 2800 tons, full displacement - 3600 tons". The frigates will be equipped with a "combined power plant with one turbine and four diesel generators."

The ships will be armed with an 127-mm artillery gun, a 20-mm Phalanx anti-aircraft artillery complex, a South Korean 16-container vertical launcher and two 324-mm three-tube torpedo tubes.

The frigate can carry one medium helicopter.

      on strike weapons more on a ship for the coast guard, to drive poachers. True air defense systems are superfluous. maybe there is some option to replace anti-ship lanterns in launchers of anti-aircraft guns?
