''Go Jun Bong'' Class LST (Hangul: 고준봉급 전차상륙함, Hanja: 孤準峰級戰車上陸艦) is an Amphibious Landing Ship class of the Republic of Korea Navy. == Development == In the late 1980s the Republic of Korea Navy decided to gradually replace its aging fleet of WW2 era LST-542 class LSTs (renamed ''Un Bong'' class LST) bought from the US Navy in 1958. A three phase plan was laid out to develop new landing ships to meet the demands of modern amphibious and transport operations. The first phase was designated as the LST-I project, and development and design started in 1987 by Korea Tacoma, currently Hanjin Heavy Industries. After 4 years of development, the lead ship ''Go Jun Bong'' (LST 681) was launched in 1991. Three more ships followed and all four ships were commissioned by 1998. The second phase, or LST-II, was originally planned to import four Newport class tank landing ships, but after being postponed due to budget issues, it was changed in favor for domestic built 4500 ton LPDs to be commissioned by 2013-2016.〔(Chosun Daily - 4천500t급 차기상륙함 윤곽 드러나 10/9/2007 )〕 These ships will ultimately replace the ''Un Bong'' and ''Go Jun Bong'' class LSTs. LST-III was to build two mid-size helicopter amphibious landing ships, and designing started in 1997. In 2001 it was renamed as the LPX project and a total of two 14,300 ton ships were ordered for the Republic of Korea Navy. On July 3, 2007 the lead ship ''Dokdo'' was commissioned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Go Jun Bong-class LST」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
