Feb. 8 (UPI) — The South Korean navy may be expanding its strategy to encompass maritime security in the Arctic, an analysis of Seoul’s military strategy shows.
Seoul Economic Daily reported Friday the South Korean navy is looking to build a fleet of ships that could be readily deployed to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea, near eastern Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
These and other plans are outlined in Seoul’s « Naval Vision 2045, » a reference to the year when the country’s navy would mark the 100th anniversary of its founding, according to the report.
