ROKS Jeonnam (FF-957)

ROKS Jeonnam (FF-957) is the sixth ship of the Ulsan-class frigate in the Republic of Korea Navy.

In the early 1990s, the Korean government plan for the construction of next generation coastal ships named Frigate 2000 was scrapped due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

[1] ROKS Jeonnam was launched on 19 April 1988 by Hyundai Heavy Industries and commissioned on 17 June 1988.

As of August 2023, the ship was laid up at Mokpo North port awaiting scrapping.
