The Chungnam-class frigate is a class of frigates of the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN). The Chungnam class is based on the preceding Daegu class. Which in turn is based on the Incheon class, and has otherwise been referred to as the Incheon-class batch III, or FFX-III. Confusingly, the FFX Batch III is sometimes called the Ulsan-class.

History

The first ship was launched in April 2023.

Construction of the second ship started on 27 July 2023 with a steel cutting ceremony at the SK Oceanplant.

Features

The Chungnam is reportedly capable of intercepting up to eight incoming missiles.
