KD III Class Destroyer
Also under the name of “Sejong the Great”, South Korea’s guided-missile destroyer is often referred to as a close double to the previous Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer. The South Korean Navy has received 3 already and are planing to receive an additional 3. Apart from protecting South Korea’s coasts, it has also enabled the Korean Navy to become a blue-water navy, meaning that it can operate far from its own borders.
HMAS Hobart Destroyer
The HMAS Hobart, which got its name from the city in Tasmania, made its way into operation on 23 September 2017. The HMS Hobart provides defense from the air for other ships. It has one of the most sophisticated phased array radar systems and can engage enemy aircraft at distances as great as 150 km away. It is loaded with SM-2 missiles for these operations. Aside from operations above water, it can also provide sonar support and tracking under water.
