The South Korean Navy has announced the return of ROKS Cheonan, a corvette sunk by a North Korean submarine torpedo in 2010, now reincarnated as a new, bigger frigate patrolling the Yellow Sea under the same name.

The new Cheonan (FFG-826) was commissioned Friday at Jinhae Naval Port near Busan. It is a 2,800-ton frigate, 1,800 tons heavier than its namesake.

“Containing the patriotism of the Cheonan’s 46 fallen soldiers, the revived Cheonan will perfectly conduct operations to protect our seas as a core asset of the Republic of Korea’s Navy,” a press release quoted ROK navy commander Kim Myung-soo
