ROKS Chuncheon (FFG-827) is the eighth and final ship of the Daegu-class frigate in the Republic of Korea Navy. She is named after the city, Chuncheon.




Development



Daegu-class is an improved variant of the Incheon-class frigate. Modifications to the Incheon-class include a TB-250K towed array sonar system and a 16-cell Korean Vertical Launching System (K-VLS) that is able to deploy the K-SAAM, Hong Sang Eo anti-submarine missile, and Haeryong tactical land attack cruise missiles.
The hull design is generally based on the one of the Incheon-class. However, as a part of weapon system modifications, the superstructure has been significantly changed. The hangar and a helicopter deck on stern has been enlarged to support the operation of a 10-ton helicopter.




Construction and career


ROKS Chuncheon was launched on 22 March 2022 by Hyundai Heavy Industries and was commissioned on 24 October 2023.
