Description

Go Jun Bong Class LST is an Amphibious Landing Ship class of the Republic of Korea Navy. Go Jun Bong class LST is based on the design of the LST-542 class LST, and thus its exterior is very similar to the Un Bong class LST. The ship is designed to land multiple personnel, tanks and equipment simultaneously with doors and ramps placed on both the stern and bow of the ship, unlike the Un Bong class LST which only has doors on the bow. It is also equipped with a turn table, saving time when loading or landing vehicles. There is also a ramp for moving trucks up to the deck, and multiple elevators for rapid cargo loading.
