Originally it was planned to equip the Navy with three UDC of this type, but the beginning of the construction of the second ship was constantly postponed, given the financial component and operating experience of the lead ship.

It is possible that the diesel main power plant used on the Dokdo will be replaced by a combined diesel-gas turbine.
