South Korea’s Undersea Dilemma: Why SSNs and UUVs Must Work Together

Dr. Ju Hyung Kim -
South Korea’s undersea future isn’t SSNs or UUVs—it’s both. Nuclear subs hedge dual crises; unmanned systems impose constant pressure on North Korea’s SLBMs. In a crowded Pacific, layered integration—not prestige—will decide deterrence.
