Korean Navy Launches Stealth Boat
South Korea on Thursday launched its fifth 4,000-ton-class destroyer with a radar-evading “stealth” function here amid a fanfare of trumpets and fireworks as sailors celebrated the new addition to their fleet.
The 4,200-ton ship, equipped with a range of sophisticated weapons systems, was set afloat in a shipyard on the country’s second-largest island, about 406 kilometers south of Seoul.

The new destroyer, which has camouflage and stealth coatings on its surface, is equipped with SM-II ship-to-air missiles, Harpoon
anti-ship missiles, RAM-guided supersonic missiles and other naval guns as well as two anti-submarine Super Lynx helicopters, according to Navy officials. It can sail at a maximum speed of 30 knots per hour.
Cool boat, but what would Korea use it for? To sneak up on Japanese fishermen?

Obviously, the ship was built to fatten the purse of Daewoo and their chaebol friends. It must have had nothing to do with any sort of aim to increase defense capability. But what was even more shocking was:

The evil Koreans used the ships to torture the living soul out of innocent Somalian pirates who sought to liberate the world of Koreans’ evilness. Surely, the Koreans’ use of such evil machineries should be condemned and stopped. Making these ships make no absolute sense unless it was an instrument to harass good people. And it is a blight upon the imperialist American plan to continue to preserve Korea’s dependence on American military power (hm?).
CHAEBOLGA – IT SEEMS YOU DON’T KNOW THE SITUATION OF SOUTH KOREA POLITICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL.THERE LURKS THE CHINESE NAVY WHO IS ACTIVELY EXPANDING ITS CLAIM UP TO THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEA. THEY ARE AT WAR WITH NORTH KOREA. THERE IS NO SUCH THING SUCH AS INNOCENT PIRATES, THEY SHOULD BE KILLED ON SIGHT.
Koreans are funny people. You can’t possibly justify their silly actions such as building ‘stealth boats’! When Koreans build stealth boats they are trying to sneak up on Japanese fishermen and Somalian pirates innocently carrying out their daily lives. That’s true!
…Seriously, what makes you think Korea needs a navy like this?
