On 27 September, the South Korean Navy Commander, Admiral Boo Suk-jong, christened and launched the third and final submarine of the first batch of the air-independent CHANGBOBO III class at the Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in Ulsan with the name SHIN CHAE-HO.

The 4,000-tonne frigate had been at the...
