Hyundai Heavy Industries' conceptual design bidding for South Korea's first light aircraft carrier
CNN: South Korea's new aircraft carrier could look like a mini HMS Queen Elizabeth
Seoul (CNN)South Korea's planned aircraft carrier could have a distinctly British flavor. In fact, it could be a mini version of the Queen Elizabeth.
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) this week signed a memorandum of understanding with top British defense contractor, Babcock International, to work together to design and build the new CVX, South Korea's light aircraft carrier.
"This partnership is to collate the core technologies of the two companies to win an order for the basic design of a light aircraft carrier and to build a ship. Hyundai Heavy Industries and Babcock had successfully completed the conceptual design, the first stage of ship design, last year," a statement from Hyundai said.

That's cute
Now, the biggest threat to you and me is not coming in a form that requires an aircraft carrier
What threatens your and my liberties, wnu, including our wealth, and common rights, is the totalitarian power grab that's being brought forward under the disguise of a deadly pandemic
I'm talking about the social credit score they want to introduce by pitting vaccinated against unvaccinated
Not any progress on preventing a future lab leak. Have you noticed? Not any meaningful investigation of this crime against humanity for which we are all supposed to silently suffer, hand over our rights and our last bits of wealth
If you don't realise that this is the largest threat to you and I, then keep on posting aircraft carrier pics. It's not going to keep us free and prosperous for our enemies are among us.
Largely well said, especially the first part. As for the latter part, what are they up to with trying to force a rushed through and very dangerous vaccine on people? Assuming the pandemic follows historical patterns we'll be out of it by mid 2023 at the latest. At this point forcing a dangerous vaccine on people seems most unwise. We're going to be dealing with the after effects of the vaccine and the economic destruction caused by the lockdowns long after the pandemic is over.
As for the aircraft carrier, the main threat to South Korea is Borth Korea. North Korea has one of the most formidable sub fleets in the world. Aircraft carriers are going to have negative utility in such a conflict.
