The major job of DSME will be to give maintenance service for the 16-year-old submarine originally built by the shipbuilder in 2000. The refined underwater ship will be delivered to the Korean marine by 2018. The shipbuilder has mid and long-term business goals to ramp up its defense business division, the company said in a statement.
