South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has just been selected to design the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy's new Auxiliary Submarine Rescue ship or ASR-II. The vessel is intended to strengthen the existing Cheonghaejin Class ASR submarine rescue ship as the ROK Navy is procuring nine Sohn Wonyil class submarines (Type 214) as well as a new class of large submarine, the KSS-III.
