High-Tech Vessel On Patrol For Seoul


South Korea deployed its first Aegis-equipped destroyer Monday as part of a program to boost its naval forces. The 7,600-ton-class ship’s Lockheed Martin-made Aegis radar and combat system will enable it to detect and trace 1,000 targets and strike 20 of them simultaneously, the navy said. South Korea shares the world’s most heavily fortified border and a disputed maritime frontier with North Korea.
