S. Korea to develop 3,000-ton submarine

South Korea's defense ministry decided Wednesday to develop a class of 3,000-ton submarines using its own technology by 2018, and to build nine such subs by 2021.

In a defense project meeting presided over by Defense Minister Kim Jang-soo, attendees approved the investment of 2.5 trillion won (US$2.7 billion) into the development of a 3,000-ton submarine by 2018 and the construction of eight more by 2021.
