The Navy seeks to deploy three 3,500-ton class next-generation submarines in the field by 2020 in stages under plans to achieve a “self-reliant” defense posture, the Defense Ministry said on Thursday (Jan. 5).
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) is currently reviewing required operation capabilities for the submarine-building project, code-named “KSS-III,” worth some $3.7 billion, a spokesman of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration said.
