Korea time on September 14 afternoon, dockyard of riverside of jade of big house heavy industry entered the water new generation submarine, KSS-III brings prosperous grand level submarine head a light boat brings prosperous grand number, korea currently holds the post ofpresidential Wen Zaiyin to be attended personally enter the water the ceremony publishs an address, show a pair of pattern that takes seriously very much. The function of this submarine also really enough causes a lot of people to take seriously, its underwater displacement achieves 3700 tons, it is the AIP submarine with whole world the at present biggest tonnage, installation has 6 perpendicular emitter, media says these emitter can launch Xuan Wu - 2 ballistic missile, call its ballistic missile submarine. But this lets the Japan as neighbour big country is nervous very, japanese media publishs an article one after another, discuss the effect that it can cause to Japan.
Look from the appearance, KSS-III is before 214 model the enlarge edition of submarine, but this one enlarge crossed a head a bit -- underwater displacement had exceeded level of dragon of Japanese dark green 3700 tons, it is the AIP submarine with the biggest tonnage on the world. Nevertheless this accords with Korea naval to develop a tendency, having high seas to fight the world of ability ancestor large chaser mixes king class alone after landing boat of insular class amphibious enlists in army in succession, develop submarine of a large ocean to also be in reason. Big tonnage can bring submarine very big gain, besides farther range and force of longer control oneself, the weapon that carry also can more, this KSS-III head a light boat installed 6 perpendicular emitter, follow-up a light boat can raise this number 10.
But its are Korea media highly praise " strategic missile submarine " passed with respect to some, diameter of its body of a light boat is 9.6 meters, and the main force with current Korea is ballistic missile Xuan Wu - 2C length exceeds 10 meters, apparent a place of strategic importance does not go in. Xuan Wu - although 2B can fill in go in, but its cannon-shot is only 500 kilometre, can calculate only can use. Nevertheless to Korea, this uses menace its hypothesis enemy -- Japan is enough, the cannon-shot enough of 500 kilometre lets submarine be waited for safely go instead in Japan missile fires besides force group, and blow is arrived at after larger size and AIP system can let on its lurk 1 million meters blast, can form the menace inside quite big range to Japan. But what also want an attention is, the Xuan Wu that this submarine carries cannon-shot likely also to amount to 1500 kilometre - 3 cruise missile, the hinterland city that menace reachs China.
