#1 Reminds me of another OLD DREAM/VISION of mine, e.g. like PLAN WARSHIPS, but I digress......

#3 Will these be Burke class ships, or something else?

#4 Probably something about 2/3 the size of a Burke.

And the article is wrong:

Cho said it is thought to be very rare for Lockheed to partner with a foreign company to produce Aegis-equipped vessels for possible sale to a third country.

They already provide the aegis systems for the norwegian frigates built in Spain, and the Australian destroyers licensed from Spain.

#7 It's Korea, lagom. for a while there I was nuking my food & driving my ass around in machines made by the same heavy industrial concern - Daewoo. I miss that car - it got gas mileage like a Prius, til some hit-and-run asshole totaled it parked outside of my apartment building.

#8 Gas, Oil, Electronics, Shipbuilding. I did not know those things. Hyundai looks like a Korean Haliburton.

#9 Hyundai owned the company I used to work for (Symbios Logic - maker of SCSI devices and silacon chips) for a short time - 1998-99, I believe. They later sold it to LSI in California, and the name changed to LSI Logic. LSI still runs a chip manufacturing facility here in Colorado Springs, and their SCSI facilities are split between here and Kansas. Hyundai wanted Symbios for its Firewire technology. When it was plain to even them that USB showed more promise than Firewire, they sold out.
