King Sejong the Great class destroyer
Hi i thought i would start a thread about this quite new destroyer, I think it is the most heavily armed ship in its class
It uses the Aegis system, and arnaments seem to differ depending on website source but seem to be:
1 127mm L62 Mk-45 Mod 4 naval gun
80 VLS cells for aaw missiles and other compatible missiles
16 SSM-700K Hae Sung long-range anti-ship missiles
32 Hyunmoo III land attack missiles
1 30mm Goalkeeper (CIWS) and a RIM-116 RAM
possibly an additional 16 anti submarine missiles aft
The Koreans have really packed a lot of weapons onto this ship, maybe at the expense of sea keeping?
There arent too many pics out there, but here is a good one
