In South Korea, launched the second diesel-electric submarine of national design with VNEU

The second diesel-electric submarine of its own design with VNEU was launched in South Korea. According to the Korea Times, the ceremony took place at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard on November 10, 2020 on Kojedo Island.

The new diesel-electric submarine belongs to the KSS-III project, fully developed by South Korean specialists. The beginning of the development of submarines of this project started in the early 2010s. The lead submarine, named "Dosan An Changho", was launched in September 2018. The second sub, launched on November 10, is named An Mu after a Korean independence fighter who fought against Japan.



Currently, two more similar submarines are in various stages of construction. In total, the South Korean Navy plans to receive 9 submarines of the KSS-III type. These ships should come to replace the ones currently in the fleet German diesel-electric submarines of project 209/1200 built in 1980-90s.

According to the published data, the surface displacement is 3358 tons, the underwater displacement is 3705 tons, the length is 83,3 meters, and the width is 9,6 meters. The submarine has an anaerobic setup, details of which were not disclosed. It is stated that thanks to VNEU, the submarine can stay under water for up to 20 days. Underwater speed - 20 knots. The cruising range is declared at 10 thousand nautical miles. Crew - 50 people.

The submarine has six non-nuclear vertical ballistic missile launchers.

          South Korea builds faster because there are no whiners like you there and people are not trying to blame their failures and problems on the power and rich people, which are not few in South Korea.

          But they have access to Western technologies and they already have a developed industry due to the fact that in exchange for their bases in this country, the United States allowed South Korea to sell its goods to the United States, and also due to the fact that the United States economically supported South Korea immediately after wars of the 50s.

          South Korea today is a leader in civil shipbuilding for several years already, the country # 1 in the construction of ships of various types, and we are restoring our shipbuilding from the ruins of the 90s !!! We have just started building ships and ships, and under constant pressure from the West !!!

          But to people like you, take it out and put it, that it was better and faster in all directions at once than in those countries that have spent decades developing these directions.

          Where do you come from only? Have you even done something with your own hands?

          You yourself are clearly not a worker and not an engineer of a shipbuilding enterprise, but you turn your nose up, give it to you faster.

          Maybe you can organize everything yourself faster? No?!

          Well then, at least not whine to show on the network !!!

          Rejoice at what we have now, it could be much worse.

          And if you want faster, work yourself, earn more and pay more taxes accordingly. There will be more money in the budget, we will develop faster and we will build everything faster, including ships with submarines.

              I am a military pensioner, a veteran, at the same time they work (their own individual entrepreneur), pay taxes and NO NO. And I am glad when something new is being built in Russia, because there is a share in this, albeit scanty, of my labor, which I put into this through the taxes I paid.

              And people like you do not want to pay taxes, but they want everything to be no worse than in the most developed countries)).

              How can this be?

              Russia has some of the lowest taxes in the world! Income tax in the West is on average about 30%, while there is also VAT on medicine they pay and they also make contributions to pension funds and there are excise taxes and everything else, and control is many times stricter, up to criminal liability.

              At the same time, the quality of products, almost any, is higher in the West, and therefore their salaries are higher.

              And people like you are to blame for everything, it's easier for you to live and justify your failures. You can't buy normal sausage and stew in a store - it's Putin who probably makes everyone in Russia do badly, from food to clothes, shoes, cars and everything else.

              Don't whine, Kuzyakin. You have to work and work well, and you also have to pay taxes, no matter how trite it sounds, but there is no other way to prosperity.

              If you don’t pay taxes, then don’t be surprised to see holes in the roads and doctors with a penny salary extorting money from patients.

Because what you get is an inevitable waste in the course of disbursing funds. No more. Until now, if you just get puzzled, you can still do something. But who needs all this and why? This is not a world championship, nor an olympiad, not a floating Frankenstein. And in ten years we will not even be able to build soviet developments. And I know how the working offices are being destroyed. Therefore, not everything was lost, but the dull real. Unlike a variety of hamsters distributing diapers .... It's all useless.

        The topic is interesting, but the article we are considering is unnecessarily shredded. It is better to read about this submarine on LJ:
        The design of a large (surface standard displacement of a boat of the first series of 3358 tons, submarine displacement of 3708 tons) non-nuclear submarine KSS-III for the South Korean Navy has been carried out since 2004 jointly by Hyundai Heavy Industries and DSME corporations, while ultimately the project was chosen as the basis last. LIG Nex1, Samsung Thales, Hanwha and STX Engine are also involved in the creation of various systems for this project, technical assistance is provided by the British companies BMT and Babcock. Initially, even the option of a boat with a nuclear power plant was considered, but in the end the submarine will have an air-independent power plant, similar to the German-style fuel cell installation used on the German project 214 (KSS-II) submarines currently under construction for the South Korean fleet. From the second series, it is assumed that the KSS-III boats will also receive the advanced South Korean-developed lithium-ion batteries.

          Yes, sometimes silence is golden ... This is just the case
          Mitsubishi F-2 is practically an F16. And it surpasses the Su 30 CM? A total of 92 Mitsubishi F-2. Su 30 CM - about 170. Su 35 - about 100. Japan has 160 F15J against 100 Su35. In the Far East, 50 Mig 31 are concentrated. We will be able to deploy the same amount within 2 days. The new R37M air-to-air missile can be used both on the MiG31 and Su30SM and on the Su35. This missile is unprecedented both in its range of destruction (1900 km) and in speed / R37M. It surpasses even the promising one under development by JNAAM in these parameters.
          Japanese resistance will be suppressed within two weeks. Moreover, the active phase of coercion into negotiations will continue for a week. Japanese aviation and navy will suffer serious losses in the very early stages of the conflict while trying to bypass the air defense zones and coastal anti-ship complexes in the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin. But that's it, for dessert. The main argument will be the elimination of LNG terminals with non-nuclear land-based tactical missiles. To intercept the ground variant of the Zircons, they have not the slightest opportunity. The demoralizing effect, as well as the economic damage, will be of such magnitude that it may well be comparable to the use of tactical nuclear weapons. It will be over in 2 weeks. We have tested the same option, but only for oil platforms on the northern flank of NATO, in Norway and the North Sea, as well as on LNG terminals in the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. It will be more difficult there, but in general the effect will be commensurate. So you can taste one of the 27 LNG terminals ...

              A typo, of course - 190 km. This is essentially. The rest is emotion. We see the entire airspace of Japan, including the southern airfields in detail. During the Vostok-2018 exercise, for 2 days we practiced the transfer of the Air Force to the airfields of the Air Defense Forces. The exercises confirmed the possibility for a specified time to form a group sufficient in number to suppress any threats from Japan. The number of permanently deployed aircraft in Primorye and Kamchatka is increasing. For example, the regiment MIg31 was restored at the Elizovo airfield in Kamchatka and at the Sokolovka airfield near Vladivostok. But this is not the main point. By and large, it makes no sense to prove something to people who project the experience of previous wars on the wars of the future. Previously, it was not possible to reach vulnerable industrial infrastructure without entering the enemy's air defense zone. Now there is such an opportunity. Not only because we have the opportunity for this, but also because such critical and absolutely vulnerable facilities have appeared.

      How can you develop from scratch

      Well, of course, they didn't have to invent Euclidean geometry from scratch, as you thought.
      The shipbuilding industry of Koreans is a world leader, surpasses the similar industry in the Russian Federation several times, they also have several world corporations in electronics. A top smartphone from Koreans costs two average salaries, and they will be sold in the millions, the profit of one company is more than from the entire oil and gas of the Russian Federation.
      A developed industry, science and technology also gives enough money and engineers and production facilities to develop submarines from scratch. In the Russian Federation, there is not enough money, and those that are there cannot be mastered. This is the difference between industrial development and raw materials development.

      The Koreans built the U-209 / U-214 counterparts according to German documentation at their shipyards and acquired the necessary competencies. Further, the shipbuilders received the terms of reference from the military, designed and started building from scratch.
      The Germans do not need a larger submarine displacement due to the nature of the proposed theater of operations. And the Americans only have nuclear submarines. South Korea (Republic of Korea) has a higher scientific and technical potential than Russia, although they lag behind in the field of military technology, but they simply do not need much or are not allowed by the United States.
      The South Korean submarines have different tasks from the German ones. This is the hunt for North Korean submarines and the possibility of delivering an unexpected massive missile strike at military facilities in the DPRK. They even have destroyers sharpened for missile defense (in the UVP only missiles), in contrast to the Americans who, in addition to missiles, also have tomahawks (including those with a nuclear warhead) for striking ground targets.

      Even if you don't care about the environment, you should still take into account the fact that a submarine, other things being equal, is noisier than a diesel-electric submarine, at least it cannot completely drown out the reactor. This means that with a sufficient density of enemy hydroacoustic control means, a tactical submarine will quickly become a heap of expensive scrap metal on the ocean floor, and a mass grave of the crew in combination.

          Yes, I agree, Samsung abandoned the production of computers 5 years ago, smartphones and tablets are much more profitable.

    This proves that economic power can be easily converted into military power, but economically, technologically backward countries cannot be powerful military powers in the modern world.

      Yes, we are in a normal relationship. The South Koreans have our S-350 (under license) and Iskanders (I don’t know for sure - the same kind of licensed, but maybe pirated, but ours were not outraged).

    Yeah, great! Based on surface and underwater displacement, the buoyancy margin is less than 10% of the displacement ... Congratulations! With noiselessness and other "goodies" .. Which you stupidly cannot implement!
    And that's it! And "Varshavyanka" can - because the crew does not read this crap.

    He mentioned South Korea in the comments to the article by Roman Skomorokhov about the Swedish A26 project a couple of days ago as contenders in cooperation with the Germans for the best nuclear submarine. In general, not without reason. And if you consider that the start is actually from scratch ... Deserve respect. request

    And if the two Koreas are united, then China will probably be able to squeeze.

    The DPRK is not the GDR. Even the FRG temporarily stopped economic growth, supplied the former East Germany. Even now (after over 30 years) the lands of united Germany have not leveled their level. So the southerners will "feed" the "northern" for a long time. hi
