The South Korean Navy, which started in 1946 with a few second-hand Japanese ships left over in their local waters at the end of WWII and a surplus 173-foot subchaser bought cheaply from the U.S., now feels they have enough large warships to found the Mobile Fleet Command, a blue water task force some 36 years in the making.

First recommended by Admiral Ahn Byung-tae, in 1995, the force will primarily be tasked to intercept North Korean missiles and consist (initially) of 10 advanced destroyers and four logistics support ships, while a poster for the group shows it built around a helicopter-equipped 19,000-ton Dokdo-class LPH and augmented with SSKs, UAVs, and MPAs. 

The moto video includes some of the first publicly released footage of the brand new Aegis destroyer King Jeongjo the Great (DDG 995), the 8,200-ton lead ship of the KDX-III class Batch II vessels:

The video description, mechanically translated.

The backbone of the ocean-going navy, the Mobile Fleet Command, was established on February 1, 2025. The Mobile Fleet Command is the core force for executing the maritime-based Korean three-axis system operations and will perform various open-sea operations such as supporting national policies through the protection of maritime traffic lanes and overseas dispatch, along with the ability to rapidly deploy to the forward seas. Towards a wider sea, towards the future! The Republic of Korea Navy will vigorously advance towards the Blue Ocean Navy. The power of the Navy! The future of the Republic of Korea!
