I'm Admiral Lee, Jong-Ho, the Chief of Naval Operations of the Republic of Korea Navy.

This is the sea of the cyber space, a navy website designed to promote communication with you.

Every voice matters and is worth being heard.

The Republic of Korea Navy, the first branch established among the three branches of the ROK armed forces, was born on November 11, 1945, following national independence by the efforts of Admiral Son, Won-il and fellow founding members.

In the last 77 years, the ROKN has developed into a strong navy, securing the seas of the Republic of Korea and acquiring the capability to protect the lives of her people and safeguard her interests, anywhere in the world.

The ROKN will continue to renovate itself into a high-technology armed force responding to threats in all domains, following the spirit of maritime pioneering of Sea Emperor Jang Bogo, the patriotism of Admiral Yi "Chungmugong" Sun-Sin, the founding spirit of Admiral Son, Won-il, and many honorable traditions that passed down to us.

Although this is a virtual space, the website is the sea of "communication", where you can share your ideas freely.

Remember every word and expression of your thoughts can greatly encourage and cheer our fellow shipmates. 

I humbly ask for your continued interest and support. 

Thank you.

Chief of Naval Operations
Lee, Jong-Ho.
