The naval leaders must remember that China’s moves to turn Korea’s southwest sea into an inland sea could be a second Dokdo incident. The plan to build a light aircraft carrier should be promoted as it is the optimal response strategy for our navy.
If Korea can secure a light aircraft carrier group, the country can exponentially raise its naval combat capability and escalate the level of operations in joint drills with allies at sea.
Visitors look at a miniature of a light aircraft carrier on display at the International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition (Madex) in Busan on Wednesday. Some 120 companies from seven countries are participating in the exhibition.
