Korea’s Hanwha Ocean sends USNS Wally Schirra back to theater after MRO - Korea Economic Daily

Quick Summary:

Phelan recently referenced Hanwha’s acquisition of the Philadelphia shipyard in his Senate confirmation hearing, stressing the importance of attracting Korean capital and technological know-how to the US defense sector.“Korea’s ability to conduct large-scale maintenance to USNS ships within the Indo-Pacific Theater demonstrates the strong strategic partnership between the Republic of Korea and the United States,” said Rear Adm.

A 210-meter, 40,000-ton US Navy vessel, heavily corroded and weathered from years of service, was pulled into Hanwha Ocean Co.'s shipyard in Geoje, South Korea, in September last year.

After six months of extensive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) work, the vessel set sail again on Thursday, marking a historic first for the Korean shipbuilding industry – the successful refurbishment of a US naval ship on Korean soil.
