South Korean military to speed up acquisition of aircraft carrier: 
韩国军方旨在加速收购轻型航空母舰

韓国国防省(MND):

ソウル国防省(MND)の当局者、10月8日にジェーンズに語りました。

JCSは、「軽空母の基本設計を、MND防衛中期計画に含めることを望んでいる」とのこと

MNDの防衛中期計画:

2021年から25年までの期間を対象。

つまり、設計作業は、早ければ来年から開始の可能性。

  1. RoKNのデータによると、
  2. 基本設計の完成には、約3年かかり、
  3. さらに、7年かかるとのことです。

つまり、軽空母は早くても、2031年に完成の可能性があります。

Depending on how long the sea trials period takes, the carrier could be operational between one and two years earlier than initially planned.

The 30,000–35,000 tonne carrier, which is being acquired under the LPX-II project,is expected

  1. to support operations of helicopters
  2. short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft

such as the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.

This means that

the MND will also try to speed up the introduction of STOVL fighter aircraft, with MND officials telling Janes that the procurement process for the fighters is expected to begin “in earnest” next year.

The RoKN is believed to have an initial requirement for about 20 such aircraft.

While the exact type of STOVL aircraft
has yet to be determined, the Yonhap News Agency

reported in August that it is likely to be the F-35B, adding that it is the only model that meets the RoKN’s requirement.
