South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA) announced on 23 February that work on the Republic of Korea Navy’s (RoKN’s) future next-generation light aircraft carrier is slated to officially start in 2022 and be completed by 2033.

Citing a decision made the previous day by the country’s Defense Project Promotion Committee, DAPA said that about KRW2.3 trillion (USD2.07 billion) has been tentatively earmarked for the project, which was previously known as LPX-II but has now renamed CVX.

The agency pointed out that the total project cost “will be reviewed/confirmed through a feasibility study” set to be conducted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

DAPA said the CVX project is aimed securing the country’s the first light aircraft carrier to “suppress provocations in disputed waters” and to quickly respond to “various security threats” through the use of short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft.
