Neighboring powers in the Korean Peninsula have started to develop and operate aircraft carriers or equivalent forces to cope with rising North Korean nuclear and missile threats and also to show its national might. For example, the United States has added a aircraft carrier from the 3rd fleet to western pacific theater of operation, while Peoples Republic of China is undergoing operational test of Liaoning as well as preparing for christening of its 2nd aircraft carrier. Japan is flexing its muscle as well by deploying Izumo capable of operating F-35B to Southeast Asia to participate in multilateral exercises starting this year. It is a high time to know more about aircraft carriers or similar types in terms of maritime strategy and history. The U.S. has had by far the vast amount of experiences in utilizing aircraft carrier that it would be beneficial for us to examine U.S. perspectives and its application in the Korean Peninsula. It will provide us with insights to understand and predict what it would be like in times of crisis in the Korean Peninsula in the perspective of aircraft carrier's involvement. This paper intends to show some aspects of future conflicts in the Korean Peninsula and how the ROK Navy can best be ready for such situation. For research purpose, U.S. maritime strategy has been developed in stages ; establishment phase, WWI phase, WWII phase, Cold war phase, post Cold war phase. Each phase includes such factors as threats, strategic concept, applications, and ways to improve maritime strategy. Finally, the role of aircraft carrier based on past history as well as future conflict shines the importance to have power projection capabilities for the ROK Navy. The intrinsic nature of the navy in the world is to project power ashore just as history proved it.

2019년 5월과 6월, 호르무즈 해협에서 상선들의 연이은 피격으로 호르무즈 해협에서 해양안보의 불확실성은 증대되고 다수 국가들이 관심을 가지고 역내 안정을 도모하려 노력하고 있다. 한국도 청해부대 임무구역 확장이라는 독자적인 형태로 호르무즈 해협인근의 해양안보 안정화를 위해 노력 중이나, 호르무즈 해협의 주요 역내 행위자인 이란에 대한 세부적인 연구는 미진한 상황이며, 이란 또한 공식적으로 자국의 해양전략을 발표한 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 현실주의적 시각, 특히 케네스 월츠로부터 시작된 방어적(구조적) 현실주의의 관점에서 아랍-페르시아의 양극체제로서의 중동의 정세를 분석하고, 아울러 이란의 독특한 이중화된 군 구조와 구분된 역할, 그리고 전력구성을 연구함으로서 이란의 국가전략과 해양전략을 도출하였다.

해양강국 달성을 위한 중국 해군전략의 성격에 대한 공세성 논란이 이어지고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 논란 속에서 전략의 3요소를 이용, 해양강국 달성을 위한 중국 해군전략의 실체적 성격을 파악하고 이를 통해 차후 중국의 군사적 행동을 전망하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 연구는 전략의 3요소와 함께 해군전략의 특수성을 고려하여 연구를 진행하였으며 연구결과 중국의 해군전략은 전체적으로 공세성을 띄고 있으나 각 전략요소 간의 공세성을 추구하는 정도에서는 불균형을 이루고 있었다. 방법적 측면에서는 공세성이 두드러지게 나타났으나, 목표·수단적 측면에서는 해양강국 달성을 위한 주변국과의 협력 필요성과 군사기술·작전지속 능력 부족이라는 제한사항이 존재하였다. 이러한 전략요소 간의 불균형을 통해 도출한 중국의 차후 군사적 행동의 전망은 다음과 같다. ① 당분간 미국과의 전면적 군사충돌의 위험은 낮다. ② 1도련선 내에서는 주변국에게 해군력을 강압의 수단으로 활용하거나 또는 제한적인 군사충돌을 일으킬 수 있다. ③ 영유권 분쟁을 둘러싼 해군력 대치시 미국 및 주변국과 우발적인 군사충돌이 발생할 수 있다.

Security situations are fundamentally and rapidly changing on the Korean Peninsula. Above all, as North Korea(NK) is heightening its nuclear and missile capabilities, Republic of Korea(ROK) is facing an existential threat. At the same time, as China's economic, diplomatic and military power is quickly rising, the balance of power is shifting and strategic competition between the Unite States(US) and China is accelerating in the Asia-Pacific region. Under the pressure of development of these situations, ROK seems to face allegedly the most serious crisis in its national security since the end of the Korean War. In the current grim geopolitical situation, maritime security may become the most difficult security challenge for ROK in the years to come. The purpose of this paper is to compare major changes in maritime security affairs of the ROK during last twenty years from 1998 until now(2018). 1998 was when this journal 『Strategy 21』 was published for the first time by the Korea Institute for Maritime Strategy. Then, this paper tries to identify challenges and risks with which this country has to deal for its survival and prosperity, and to propose some recommendations for the government, the Navy, and the Coast Guard as they are responsible for the maritime security of the country. The recommendations of this paper are as follows: strengthen ROK-US alliance and expand security cooperation with regional powers in support of the maintenance of the current security order in the region; building-up of maritime security capacity in preparation for crisis on the maritime domain with the navy targeting to acquire 'a non-nuclear, balance-of-terror capability, to improve interoperability with the Coast Guard based on 'a national fleet,' and to actively pursue innovation in naval science and technology. Finally, this paper proposes that naval capability the country needs in another twenty years depends on how effectively and rigorously the navy put its utmost efforts towards building 'a strongest navy' today.

China National People's Congress has passed the bill to combine the Marine Law Enforcement into "State Oceanic Administration People's Republic of China". This bill was intended to resolve the overlapping jurisdiction and disputes caused in ocean territory in nearby countries. The purpose of reorganizing the administration was to combine the dispersed organization into one group. This new big administration was basically organized to increase the power of China marine state on the long-term. The reorganization plan is to group General Administration of Customs, China Marine Surveillance, Fisheries Law Enforcement Command, and Border Control Department into one State Oceanic Administration. The new state Oceanic Administration carries the authority to protect rights and enforce the marine law supported by Public Security Bureau. Korea Coast Guard has been cooperating with China Marine Surveillance since 1998 when the first pact was made. The next step expanded to General Administration of Customs. Currently working with Regional Maritime Law Enforcement organizations dealing mostly with illegal Chinese fishing boats and IEODO conflict. In order to solve the problems we face today is to observe the process of the New China Coast Guard administration, analysing the effects that could be caused by the change and to keep close cooperation between the new administrations.

The Republic of Korea navy challenged from the unexpected surprise attacks by the North Korea navy, albeit, the developments of up-to-date naval forces' technology, and the ceaseless efforts for war preparedness. My study divided into two categories. Qualitative methods used for literature review of international relations theory related to the war onset and for investigating events occurred on the Peninsula and its surrounding seas from 1968 to 2007. Quantitative method used such as the analyses of national power index of the two Koreas, the United States, and China, the uses of equation model to calculate power index of alliance, COPDAB(Conflict and Peace Data Bank) index analysis. Like Choi's study on East Asia maritime conflict, as a conclusion, considering both AT theory and maritime national power as a tool for predicting maritime conflict in the Peninsula proved significant. Based on the study, ROK navy need to prepare for the maritime conflict because the results showed North Korea would initiate maritime disputes sooner or later using fatal asymmetric forces and methods. As a policy suggestion, we are required to maintain a concrete ROK-US alliance ties and to construct naval forces due to the deterring functions of maritime national power.

본 논문은 중국의 시기별 해군전략의 전략운용 목표, 범위, 방식을 살펴보고, 시진핑 시기 해군전략의 목표와 특징, 전략적 함의를 분석해 보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 신(新)중국 성립 이후 해군은 현재까지 총 네 번에 걸쳐 전략변화를 구사하였다. 현재 시진핑 시기 중국의 해군전략은 근해적극방어전략이 결합된 원해호위전략이다. 현재 중국의 해군전략은 공격성 무기체계로 인해 공격적 전략으로 전환되고 있고, 최신식 함정의 비중이 높아지고 있으며, 운용범위는 연안과 근해를 벗어나 전 세계 해양이 대상이 되었다. 중국의 해군전략이 전환됨에 따라 중국 해군은 해양주도권 확보를 전략적 목표로 설정하고 외부 세력의 개입과 침입에 적극 대응하기 위한 공세적 전략을 실행할 것이다. 이에 중국 해군은 원거리 지역 해상 분쟁지역에서 분쟁당사국들을 더욱 압박하기 위해 억제전력과 기동전력을 향상시킬 것이다. 또한 중국의 해군전략은 '차단'에서 '신속대응'이라는 운용 방식으로 점차 전환될 것으로 전망한다.

본 연구는 중국해군이 진행 중인 공세적 서해 진출 전략을 목표, 방법, 수단 차원에서 분석하여 우리해군의 대응전략 발전방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 분석결과 중국해군의 공세적 서해 진출전략은 목표 차원에서 미-중 경쟁 간 해양권익 수호 및 해양강국을 달성하기 위한 대전략과 연계하여 진행 중 있으며, 방법 차원에서 평상시 '진입 일상화'와 '관할권 행사'를 통해 국제사회가 서해를 중국의 내해(內海)로 인식하는 기반을 조성하며, 유사시는 항모전단의 압도적 선제공격 능력을 바탕으로 우리나라의 해양교통로를 차단하여 단시간 내 서해 해양통제권 확보를 시도할 것이라 예측된다. 수단 차원에서 항모전단 건설 가속화 및 원거리 미사일 교전능력을 향상시키고 있다. 이에 대응하는 한국해군 대응전략 발전방향으로 첫째 한국형 인도-태평양 전략과 연계한 국가 해양안보전략 수립 및 발전, 둘째 서해 중간선 이동(以東) 해역에 대한 효과적이 경비작전 개념 발전, 셋째 생존성과 치명성 강화를 위한 전투 수행개념 발전 및 능력 구축을 제시한다.

Today distant oceans around the world are regarded as a major 'global commons' for international trade and transportation. Korea is not an exception, because Korea hugely depends on sea lines of communication (SLOC) for supplying vital commodities such as food and energy resource. As a result, assuring a free and safe use of distant ocean beyond territory is also an important agenda for Korea's maritime security. However there are a number of challenges for Korea to enjoy a free and safe use of distant ocean; dangers of regional maritime conflict in East Asia, naval arms race of China and Japan, and concerns on possible decline of U.S naval presence and power projection capabilities. These factors provide a reasonable basis for Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) to pursue capabilities for major naval operations at distant ocean in a long-term perspective toward the year 2030. The introduction of aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarine is a key requirement for achieving this goal. ROKN needs to acquire a 'multi-role strategic landing platform' type of light aircraft carrier, which takes a role to escort naval task force by providing air superiority at distant ocean. Additionally nuclear-powered submarine will offer ROKN a formidable power to carry out offensive missions effectively at distant ocean.
