                        Anyone know anything about this big new ship? The South Koreans just launched her. I wasn't aware of the fact that they built large warships.



                        It would be nice to see a kit. Wink [;)] Certainly not your ordinary subject. It's a very handsome vessel.

                        Here's an article about it.

                        http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/?feed=TopNews&article=UPI-1-20050713-03462900-bc-japan-skoreaship.xml

                        Apparently they named it Dokdo to rub Japan's face in a territorial dispute -- never a bad thing to tweak the Japanese when you are Korean! Maybe Trumpeter will release a kit of the ship, because the name is annoying to the Japanese. Laugh [(-D]

                        Larry, can't see the pic. I'd love to see what this ship looks like.

                        I'll try to host it someplace else tonight.

                        If anyone is very keen to see it in the meantime, go to

                        http://www.gettyimages.com

                        click on "editorial"

                        then run a search for korean ship.

                        Three nice pics will pop up, though sadly they have an annoying watermark on them.

                        I never suggested they weren't capable of it, just that they might not build large military vessels.
