Republic of Korea Navy ROKS Sejong the Great (DDG-991) is the lead ship of the Sejong the Great-class destroyers, developed to provide advanced air-defense and long-range strike capabilities for the South Korean fleet. Equipped with the powerful Aegis Combat System and extensive missile capacity, the vessel is considered one of the most heavily armed destroyers in the world.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany.

One of the defining features of the Sejong the Great-class is its advanced Aegis radar system combined with exceptional missile firepower and multi-role warfare capabilities. Its sleek modern architecture and large combat platform give ROKS Sejong the Great a commanding and sophisticated naval appearance.
