Dry docks are used to repair warships or Merchant ships based on their life cycles. There are the certain number of dry docks in the ROK Navy, However, the ROK Navy force structure has been changing a lot since the Korean War. The focus of this study is to analyze the queueing problem regarding present dry docks capacities and to forecast the appropriate number of dry docks based on future naval ship structure. The study proposes to obtain an efficient dry dock size using queueing problem and simulation.
