Got cha. Who else would be good at patrolling the worlds oceans if not America. Let's stick to the question at hand. Korea? The country is too small and relies upon America.

''Got cha. Who else would be good at patrolling the worlds oceans if not America. Let's stick to the question at hand. Korea? The country is too small and relies upon America.'' Not for long; ROKN would be the most powerful navy based on exclusive advanced technology and outstanding tactical doctrine. ROKN understands USN tactics better than USN. In October 1992, Korea became the 43rd nation to join the submarine community. Since then South Korea and its Navy have demonstrated an outstanding capability with respect to submarine force construction, sustainment and operation. In international exercises such as RIMPAC and Tandem Thrust, ROKN Type 209 submarines have demonstrated superiority in the detecting and attacking of powerful “enemies”. In 1998 the ROKS LEE JONGMOO participated in RIMPAC (as did HMAS ONSLOW). It sunk 13 warships (150,000 tons) and was the only submarine to survive until the end of the exercise. ROKS PARK WI participated in RIMPAC 2000 (HMAS WALLER participated also, with great success). Considering the 1998 RIMPAC achievements, “enemy” forces kept a close watch on PARK WI, making it a top priority for sinking during the exercise. However, she sank 11 enemy ships (96,000 tons) and, again, survived to the end of the exercise without being detected once by enemy forces. Admiral “Big Al” Konetzni, COMSUBPAC at the time, publicly praised the performance of the ROKN submarine. In 2002 ROKS NA DAEYONG participated in RIMPAC (as did HMAS SHEEAN). It sank 10 enemy ships (100,000 tons) and, matching the trend, survived to the end of the exercise. In 2004 it was ROKS CHANG BOGO’s turn to take part in RIMPAC (as did HMAS RANKIN). It successfully launched a total of 40 simulated torpedoes against 15 surface ships, including the nuclear aircraft carrier, USS JOHN C STENNIS, and her accompanying escorts. It survived until the end of the exercise without being counter detected and without mechanical issue. ROKN submarine performance at these exercises has invited keen attention. The ROKN have moved on to their next program, with three of a planned force of nine Type 214 submarines now commissioned. They have not looked backwards. Their submarine force doesn’t have any issues with respect to operating with the United States Navy, which they do on a more regular basis than our submarines. RADM Doug McAneny said in 2009, “The Koreans are very strong allies in the region. They are frequent participants in many of the multi-lateral and bi-lateral exercises we do in the region and we do sub on sub work with them as well”. Fight in the Dog Mark Twain once said … It’s not about the size of the dog in the fight, it’s about the size of the fight in the dog. It is clear that the ROKN submarine program has been highly successful. The ROKN have been involved in numerous exercises and operations over the past few years from Australia, to Hawaii and beyond – and done very well. They have boats with proven capability, which they are comfortable putting in harm’s way, with courageous, motivated, and well led professional crews. SEA 1000 THE LESSONS OF COLLINS - APDR (asiapacificdefencereporter.com) ROKN wants to build up to 8 aircraft carriers by 2050, divided into 4 carrier groups: Most of them will be nuclear powered or even quantum photonic engine powered, with RN Twin Tower configuration for maximum redundancy. A photonic quantum engine driven by superradiance | Nature Photonics South Korea to develop stealth submarines - UPI.com South Korea to develop stealth submarines - UPI.com South Korea, which is still technically at war with North Korea, is planning to develop stealth submarines. ROKN is developing operational plans with both RN, and the French Navy, independent from USN. ROKN will build at least 3 arsenal ships, 6 to 8 Zumwalt class stealth destroyers, in 2020s, and the world's biggest (in tonnage, and numbers), the most powerful, and technologically advanced, sub fleet, both AIP, and nuclear; some of them will be A.I. with no human crew, by 2050. ROK Naval academy has chosen Giuseppe Fioravanzo's 'A history of naval tactical thought' as the foundational textbook. I bought one myself, and am reading it right now. Giuseppe Fioravanzo - Wikipedia Giuseppe Fioravanzo - Wikipedia Giuseppe Fioravanzo (14 August 1891 – 18 March 1975) was an Italian admiral. He was considered one of the main "...

Naval tactics have changed since that person wrote that book. We use air planes, not navies. Navies aren't shooting each other with large caliber weapons any longer.

Having a dog that fights well isn't like having a military with missiles. America will be spending 1 trillion next year. It doesn't matter about how mad the dog is.
