The South Korean Navy believes it can deploy two light aircraft carriers by 2036 and expand its blue-water force to cope with the rapid naval buildups of China and Japan, according to a Navy source. The service has been exploring ways of securing light aircraft carriers based on an interim feasibility study, the source said. "It's a hope," the Navy source said on condition of anonymity. "There are no fixed requirements at the moment, but we've been studying ways of launching light aircraft carriers over the next two decades." Rep. Chung Hee-soo of the ruling Saenuri Party revealed the contents of a program in a feasibility report last week. "To cope with potential maritime disputes with neighboring countries, we need to secure aircraft carriers as soon as possible," Chung, a member of the National Assembly's Defense Committee, said during a confirmation hearing Oct. 11 for Adm. Choi Yoon-hee, new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "For more active international peacekeeping operations, our Navy should have carriers."
