Hanwha Ocean has unveiled its latest, stepped-up proposal submitted for the Philippine Navy’s (PN’s) two-boat submarine requirement.
A computer-generated image (CGI) of the proposal, which has been dubbed as the Jangbogo-III PN submarine, was provided to Janes on 19 September ahead of a media release on the same day.
The vessel is derived from the Republic of Korea Navy’s (RoKN’s) KSS-III submarine, which has been designed and constructed by Hanwha Ocean. The proposed vessel has a surface displacement of about 2,800 tonnes, with an overall length of 77 m, and an overall beam of 9.7 m.
“Building upon the success of the Korean navy’s (RoKN’s) Jangbogo-III submarines, Hanwha Ocean’s proposal, the Jangbogo-III PN (Philippine Navy), offers a proven platform that delivers unparalleled operational capability,” according to a company statement.
“This advanced submarine is equipped with the latest propulsion system and lithium-ion battery technology ensuring the Philippines’ enhanced defence capability to safeguard its sovereign and strategic maritime interests,” the statement added.
