Naming

The name Dokdo comes from the Korean name for the Liancourt Rocks, a group of islets in the Donghae that are currently administered by South Korea. The islets' ownership is disputed between Japan and South Korea. [3] The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its regret over the naming of Dokdo.[4]

ROKS Dokdo was commissioned into the ROK Navy on 3 July 2007.

History

In March 2010, Dokdo assisted in search and rescue operations after the sinking of ROKS Cheonan. In July, the ship took part in Operation Invincible Spirit, a joint alliance exercise.[5]
