Kanin-class guided-missile destroyers are destroyers operated by the Svetvostok Navy. It was constructed from 2002 to 2011 with a total of 15 ships, of which only 12 are active.

History

Kanin-class destroyers were built to close the gap between the naval power of major powers and the Svetvostok Navy, and to strengthen the Svetvostok Navy, which stayed in the Brown-Water Navy then. Until the early 2010s, ships that could operate in the distant ocean were rare for the Svetvostok Navy. The Navy mainly focused on coastal defense, so the Svetvostok Navy was not rated to have a large deterrant force. Since the Great War, Svetvostok's defense doctrine was a passive form of defense strategy, this was not a big problem. However, with technological advances, stand-off weapons have been able to range longer, and Svetvostok's defense doctrine has faced criticism that it is behind the times. To address this, the military has revised its defense strategies to create strategies that can strengthen its naval and air power to deter adversaries from great distances.

Kanin-class destroyers were constructed as the first project to enhance the Svetvostok Navy's ocean operational capabilities, with a total of 15 deployed to the Navy.

Description

Kanin-class destroyers were built as the first combat ships with smooth operational capabilities in the distant oceans. Kanin-class destroyer has more drainage and is equipped with more weapons than the previous generation ship, Kim Geun-ryeong class destroyers.
