Hyundai Heavy, Babcock join forces for S. Korea's 1st aircraft carrier
By YonhapPublished : Sept. 1, 2021 - 11:30
Global shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. said on Wednesday that it has signed a partnership deal with British defense company Babcock to cooperate on a project to build South Korea's first aircraft carrier.
Under the deal, the two companies will team up to receive an order for the 30,000-ton aircraft, Hyundai Heavy Industries said.
The project, CVX, has been pushed by the country's Navy, which is scheduled for completion in 2033.
Hyundai Heavy and Babcock carried out a conceptual design for the aircraft last year, which was commissioned by the Navy.
A conceptual design, the first step of ship construction, refers to the basic concept and characteristics of the vessel before confirming its specifications and required technologies.
