| Source measurement | The MLS-II Nampo has a length of 114 meters (374 ft 0 in), 17 m (55 ft 9 in) in width and 28 m (91 ft 10 in) in draft with a displacement of 4,000 tons. Its crew complement is 120. The ships are equipped with a K-VLS package on top of the helicopter hangar that can deploy K-SAAM surface-to-air missiles. The Nampo class are also fitted with two Mark 32 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tubes for LIG Nex1 K745 Blue Shark anti-submarine torpedoes. Each ship is protected by two Rheinmetall Multi Ammunition Softkill Systems (MASS) which are installed amidships. The Nampo class is also equipped with two LIG Nex1 SLQ-261K Torpedo Acoustic Counter Measure (TACM) systems. The main radar of the ships is a LIG Nex1 SPS-550K medium to long-range air and surface surveillance multibeam 3D radar.[source]Nampo-class minelayer · Features; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
