The power of the Pohang warship that Vietnam is about to receive
The Korean Embassy in Vietnam said that at the end of October 2018, Korea will transfer the next Pohang submarine hunter to the Vietnam Navy.

| This information was announced by Ambassador Kim Do Hyon on October 4 when the Korean Embassy in Vietnam solemnly celebrated the National Day and Army Day of the Republic of Korea. |
 |
| The Pohang-class frigates are medium-sized with a length of 88.3 m and a width of 10 m. The armament of the Pohang-class 3rd Generation frigates includes 2 Oto Melara Compact 76.2 mm guns with barrels 62 times longer than the diameter (76 mm/62) arranged fore and aft. |
 |
| In addition, the ship also has 2 Nobong 40 mm/70 twin-barreled rapid-fire guns. In addition to supporting the 76 mm gun in destroying small targets, it also plays an air defense role, fighting low-flying aircraft as well as anti-ship cruise missiles (quite limited). |

| With the range and depth achieved by the Mk 32, the Pohang warship is capable of launching surprise attacks and destroying most of the most advanced submarines in the world today. |

| However, it is currently unclear whether this class of ship will still be equipped with this torpedo when it arrives in Vietnam or what items Vietnam's program to upgrade this line of anti-submarine warships includes. Photo in the article: Pohang warship. |
