Thank you for the info Don! I didn't realize it was that much larger than the Arleigh Burkes. I'm going to do a little research on some ships from both Navies and probably request some for the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List!

If you want to get a clear understanding of the naval war buy or rent the movie called “ Northern Limit Line”
Remember the Korean War never ended all parties are technically still at war.
There is only an armistice.

Thanks for the tip on the movie. I hadn't heard of it, but I will definitely check it out!

It’s an eye opener, I lived through a few on the DMZ but knew little about the Naval war fought mostly by South Korea.

As my primary interest is military ships in the first half of the 20th century, I am not really interested in car ferrys, liners, and cargo ships, except those used for amphibious attack or front-line resupply. Having said this, if you want to identify specific ships or classes of ships, I will gladly add them to the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List.

Naval ships need both things to protect in war, and targets!
