''Nongo'' class is a term used by the US Department of Defense to identify a series of new medium-size warships built by North Korea starting in the 2000s. Little numbers of such vessels are believed to be in service, but they appears to form the core of a modernized Korean People's Navy.〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/dprk/p-nongo.htm〕 == Features and Design == In late '80s the North Korean shipbuilding industry experimented a large warship with an innovative catamaran-hull design, the Soho class frigate. After the '90s, when the North Korean economy showed some signs of recovering after the great famine, the Korean People's Navy started introducing again this design to modernize its fleet of medium-size vessels. North Koreans implemented the catamaran design, adopting Surface Effect Ship technology. The design is relatively advanced, and adopted by few Navies in the world. The first vessels of the class (the "pure" Nongo) appears to have also stealth lines. Considering the lack of official north korean released data, most of features, design and details are speculations of analysts after observation of satellite pictures. 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「Nongo class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
