Named RoKS Marado (with pennant number 6112), the 14,500-tonne vessel entered service in a ceremony held on 28 June at the Jinhae Naval Base, its future homeport in South Gyeongsang Province.
South Korean shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction (HHIC) began work on the 199.4 m-long, 31 m-wide LPH in 2016 at its facilities in Busan after being awarded a contract in December 2014. The ship was launched in May 2018 and began sea trials a year later.
The RoKN said in a statement that Marado , which will have a crew of 330, has a top speed of 23 kt, a standard range of 10,000 n miles at 18 kt, and a hull draught of 6.6 m. The flight deck is marked with five numbered landing spots on the port side, with two more spots behind the island unit.
