The Myeongnyang-class cruiser is a cruiser operated by Royal Joseon Navy. It was planned for 15 ships, and it started to be built in 2018, so a total of 12 ships have been built and are currently active.
The Myeongnyang-class cruiser was designed to conduct naval operations, either alone or in the formation of small maneuver groups. It is also specialized in launching large-scale missile strikes against enemy fleets or ground military installations. Although the practicality of the ship has been questioned due to its role overlapping with that of aircraft carriers, the high firepower of a single ship of the Myeongnyang-class and the stealth design that dramatically reduces its RCS justify its high tactical and strategic importance.
