I sincerely welcome you to the ROK Navy's official website.
As a peninsula surrounded by seas on three sides, the seas of the ROK are a treasured source of prosperity and abundance, as well as a vital lifeline.
Established on 11 November, 1945 as the first of the three armed forces, the ROK Navy has faithfully fulfilled its mission at the forefront of safeguarding our maritime domain, dedicated solely to protecting the lives and safety of our people, as well as ensuing national prosperity and security.
Inheriting the noble founding spirit of our founding members, 'We defend our seas with our own hands.' - our sailors stand ready to proactively respond to today's demanding and complex security environment, sailing forward with strength toward becoming a Victorious Navy.
Moving forward, the ROK Navy will establish an all-domain military readiness posture to ensure that no one can challenge our maritime sovereignty, thereby safeguarding the peaceful daily lives of our people at sea while building a cutting-edge naval force that leads change and guarantees victory in future battlefields.

We kindly request your unwavering love and support for the ROK Navy as we dedicate ourselves to the nation, remain loyal to our people, and serve the nation through the sea.

Thank you.     


Chief of Naval Operations of ROK Navy
