I was an Deck officer of ROKS Marado. 2nd type of Dokdo class. your video is quite accurate. especially, it is quite surprised you know that 2 V-22 can land on Marado's flight deck simultaneously. or other facilities. now Dokdo Class' complement is around 220. due to decline of population. thanks for your video.

The South Koreans have never forgotten how well the amphibious invasion worked at Inchon. Instead of landing our troops in the Pusan pocket General McArthur pressed for an invasion just south of Soul at Inchon which took the North Koreans completely by surprise and turned the tide of the Korean War.

It was a real pleasure to watch this movie. As a European I have a rather limited knowledge about Asian Navies, so thank you very much

Biggest problem with Dokdo class ship is the single deck not double deck like other amphibious assault ship around the world. This has limited number of helicopters it can carries on a mission as deck area will be crowded with tanks and other amphibious vehicles.

They should use this as a drone carrier, along with the amphibious assault role. They could get a huge number of drones on this ship, and the flight deck is ideal for smaller craft such as attack helicopters and drones.

I can understand the teething problems with this new class of warship. It's common in large weapon systems. I am surprised though because the ROK has so much shipbuilding experience these errors in design are odd.

Back in 2012 I had the opportunity to talk to some South Korean Navy officers of Lt. Commander and Commander rank, and they all agreed that the building of the Dokdo was more of a political decision rather than a strategic one. At the time it was felt that the building of a large warship named Dokdo, and intended to defend Dokdo island would be a major flex against the Japanese, who were constantly claiming sovereignty. They gave the impression that this ship was more of a drain on the naval budget than anything else. As this video mentioned, Dokdo did not have a dedicated naval air unit even well after her commission. The only good points were that the actual design and building of the ship gave South Korean ship builders vastly improved knowledge of how to build large warships that were well suited to open ocean navigation.

Would have thought they would have tried to go for some Sea Cobras---at least that's what came to my mind. They were built for sea use and would provide an offensive/defensive/support punch. That is if they're even built any longer. Would be kind of cool to see a Navy version of the Apache though.

Thanks for the video. Please also make a video for TCG Anadolu

Considering japanese and korean weapons individually can easly comprehended but as a whole i have no idea why they are aligning that way.

SK Navy could consider getting a few units of AH-1Z to support their Marines embarked on this ship. SK Marines have close collaboration with USMC, they could learn a lot from their US counterparts on combined arms tactics.

Next vid: the NK’s latest missile frigates, I guess 😂?

Interesting report. Subscribed on the strength of it.

South Korea has used Lynx helicopters in the past, would Wildcats and Merlins be a good fit for this vessel?

Since not that big for a LHD and kpops want to build carriers, I guess these ships are built for gaining exp and educating personnel for future CV they gonna use. What else they can get out of this project, really. Pretty small and pretty cheap LHD, kpop can sold it to some other country if they wish. Such huge radar on her tho. Overall win for kpop navy.

Unnecessary time and money. There is no clear purpose for which the ship can serve. It can neither fully land nor hold an island

Quite slow and with a really long range without needing it...

How do british, french & russisn amp ,ship match up .???🤔🤔 To america as well , jf.

How are they going to reload the RAM launcher way up there?

I suspect they saw what Japan was doing with their helicopter carriers and copied them

By itself it isn't all that special. As a piece in a combined operation with U.S and Japanese forces it becomes a force multiplier.

A wonderful video was introduced by an excellent ( weapon detective 🕵️‍♂️) channel video about Dokdo class amphibians assault ship 🚢 designed by naval technology capabilities of South Korea 🇰🇷.video clearly explained all the characteristics of that piece ...thank you 🙏 ( weapon detective 🕵️‍♂️) channel for sharing

Britain kinda screwed them selves in the fawlklands by going full harrier , had it happened a few years earlier or they kept hms hermies a catobar with phantoms and awac gannets they probably could have had full air superiority were the argentines couldnt have used the excorcet or maybe even wouldnt have even risked losing them on the way to target because they didnt have many to waste , this would have allowed traditional amphibious operations basically uncontested

This channel is Japanese and I sense the antagonism between Japan and South Korea in this video.

Why they didnt equipped them with F-35Bs?

You can use the purchases of military equipment to predict the future, because the lead time for military equipment is very long. In the past 10 years many nations of the "Western or Developed World" have been buying amphibious assault ships. Where in the world is there a need for these ships. Answer, the islands created by China in the South China Sea. Regards, Geoff. Reeks

nice ship

Cant understand what they ever use it for. Securing trade routes - wrong type of ship.

only reason Korea built this is because Japan built a similar ship. Korea can't get over its past.

리앙쿠르 락스라는 명칭이 중립적인 거 같지만 이미 이름이 있던 곳을 1,849년 지나가던 프랑스 포경선의 함장이 임의로 붙인 이름일 뿐입니다. The name Liancourt Rocks seems neutral, but it's just a name randomly given by the captain of a French whaling ship that was already there, 1,849 years later. 독도는 선사시대부터 포경을 하던 한국인들의 영역에서 오래 존재했고 남아있는 한국의 역사적인 문서 기록상 1,145년부터 계속 영유되어 왔죠. Dokdo has existed for a long time in the territory of Koreans whaling since prehistoric times and has been owned since 1145 in the remaining Korean historical documentary records. 한국과 일본이 영유권 다툼을 하고 있다고 하셨지만 일본인이 독도에 들어가기 위해서는 여권을 소지하고 한국정부의 허가를 받아야 합니다, 한국인들은 그냥 배를 타고 가면 되구요. You said that Korea and Japan are in a territorial dispute, but the Japanese have to have a passport and get permission from the Korean government to enter Dokdo, Koreans can just go by boat. 불법적으로 한국을 점령했던 시기 잠깐 일본이 이용했었지만, 패전했을 때 강제점령한 모든 영토를 내놓는다고 한국의 부속도서 모두를 반환한다고 서명했습니다. It was briefly used by Japan during the illegal occupation of Korea, but it signed that it would return all the annexed islands of Korea to give up all the territory it had forcibly occupied when it was defeated. 수백개가 넘는 섬 이름을 항복문서에 모두 넣기 힘들어서 큰 섬 몇개만 적고 그 외 모든 한국에게서 뺏은 섬들도 모두 돌려준다고 연합국대표들에게 일본 정부가 서명했죠. The Japanese government signed on to the Allied delegates that it would be difficult to put all the names of hundreds of islands in the surrender document, so they would write down only a few large islands and return all the other islands taken from Korea. 이제와서 항복문서에 독도의 이름이 없었으며 자기들이 다케시마라고 부르는 섬은 누구의 영토도 아니었고 누구도 몰랐던 무인도를 얻었으니 자신들이 갖겠다고 일방적으로 선포했으나 일본제국에서 발행된 공식문서와 지도에서는 분명히 한국의 땅이라고 표기해 놓았고 양심있는 일본 학자의 제보로 한국에도 보고되었습니다. Now, the surrender document did not have Dokdo's name, and the island they called Takeshima was not anyone's territory, and they unilaterally declared that they would have it because they got a desert island that no one knew, but official documents and maps issued in the Japanese Empire clearly indicated that it was Korean land, and it was also reported to Korea with a report from a conscientious Japanese scholar. 공개하지 않고 수장해놓은 일본문서 보관소의 이름도 특정되어 있고 사진증거로 문서내용과 지도이름과 분류번호등이 모두 공개되어 있어요. The name of the Japanese archives that have been stored without disclosure is also specified, and the contents of the document, map name, and classification number are all disclosed as photo evidence. 일본정부가 조직적으로 증거를 감추고 자기들의 주장만 교육하고 있고 홍보하고 있어서 일본인들은 그저 누구도 모르던 강치들만 살던 무인도를 찾아서 영토화 했다고 하지만 한국인(당시 국명은 조선)들은 그곳에 강치가 살고 있는 것을 알고 있었고 기록으로 남겼습니다. The Japanese government systematically concealed evidence and educated and promoted only their arguments, so the Japanese found and territorialized uninhabited islands where only gangchi lived, but Koreans (the country name was Joseon at the time) knew that gangchi lived there and recorded them. *gangchi = Zalophus japonicus* 어업을 하고 강치를 사냥해서 자기들 소유라고 주장하지만 그 전에도 독도강치 존재를 일본도 알고 있었으나 손대지 못하다가 30여년만에 멸종시켜 버렸습니다. They claim to belong to them by fishing and hunting gangchi, but even before that, Japan knew about the existence of Dokdo gangchi, but they couldn't touch them and went extinct after more than 30 years.

Still way better than China's 'Tofu' class lol

With their depopulation problem, building a navy seems like a waste of resources.

on Dokdo "Dispute" at 13:55 "these two countries have a sovereignty dispute over the rocks" - ROK does not see there is a "dispute," as its claims/basis are valid and it already occupies the islands. Japan argues there is a dispute. - ROK argues they are not "rocks" but "islands." Unsure about Japan's argument about this

2 pieces of light carriers and then call themselves blue water navy... lol

So: Learning steps towards an (effective/powerful) aircraft carrier, which may be fully ready, with luck etc., FORTY YEARS after the project was started. OR: With ruler types, of all sectors, and ranks, ego overrules reason. (As well as compassion etc.) And don't mention ph*llic symbols.. 😒

A NAVAL POS

Political testing facilities? 🤣
