Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin Destroyer and Philippine Navy HHI Frigate Similar Layout

One thing I noticed is how similar in terms of layout the Munmu the Great Destroyer (or specifically, the Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin class Destroyer) of the South Korean Navy is to the new Frigates that the Philippine Navy is getting from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).



The location of the main gun and Vertical Launch System (VLS), the non-covered Funnel Area, the location of the Anti-Ship Missiles, the location of the Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) are all the same, the only difference is that the PN's HHI Frigate has a more modern looking Bridge compared to that of the Chungmugong class ships.

One could say that our HHI Frigates are a smaller and updated version of the Chungmugong class Destroyers.
