ROKS Baekdusan (PC 701), the first warship of the ROK Navy

The Republic of Korea Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the South Korean armed forces. Since the Korean War and until the 90s, well above 100 ships were transferred from the United States Navy to the Republic of Korea Navy.

The ROK Navy employs the U.S. Navy-style letter based hull classification symbols to designate the types of its ships and hull numbers to uniquely identify its vessels (e.g. DDH 975). The names are that of the historical figures, provinces, cities, counties, peaks, lakes, islands, and birds. The Chief of Naval Operations selects the names of ships.[1]

The ship prefix for all the commissioned ROK Navy ship is ROKS (Republic of Korea Ship) when the names of ships are written in English.

²: Romanization is according to Revised Romanization of Korean with exceptions of the person's name.
³: The date when the Navy acquires a ship from the shipbuilder.

a: Hull number changed on 1978-06-01
