HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced on Thursday, the 30th, that it has signed a contract with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) for a system development project to upgrade the performance of three Jangbogo-II (Type 214) submarines, valued at 468.9 billion KRW.

This performance improvement project covers three of the nine Jangbogo-II submarines that have been in service for more than 10 years. Key equipment, including the Combat Management System, Towed Array Sonar, Mine Avoidance Sonar, and Buoy Antenna, will be replaced with the latest models. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries plans to complete the performance upgrade by 2033, in cooperation with LIG Nex1, which previously carried out the upgrade of the Jangbogo-I (Type 209) submarines.

Angus Topshee, Vice-Admiral and Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, had the opportunity on the morning of the 31st to personally experience the excellence of the Korean submarine by riding the ROKS Ahn Mu, the second vessel of the 3,000-ton Dosan Ahn Changho-class submarine (SS-III), in the waters near the ROK Navy's Busan Naval Base.

ROKS Ahn Mu, a Dosan An Chang-ho-class vessel participating in Silent Shark 2025 starting November 18. I'm not sure exactly when it departed, but it arrived in Guam today, the 17th. This marks the first time the KSS-III has participated in overseas joint exercises, demonstrating its capability for long-range ocean voyages and operations in high-temperature tropical waters. Personally, I hope the ROKN conducts joint exercises with nations surrounding the Arctic Ocean. In the long term, the ROKN's operational area must expand to that extent. According to ‘Navy Vision 2045’, the plan is to extend the ROKN's operational range to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea.
