Yi Sun-sin's name remains in the modern Korean fleet

Has the Republic of Korea Navy named a warship for Yi Sun-sin?

Yes. Viewers identify DDH-975, whose size and heavy missile armament also prompt a discussion of whether destroyer and frigate labels travel cleanly between navies.

An initial answer misses a Korean warship named for Yi Sun-sin, then viewers identify DDH-975 and correct the record. The ship is described at roughly 4,700 tons standard and 5,000 tons fully loaded, with sixty-four VLS cells, Rolling Airframe Missiles, and eight Harpoon missiles. That armament makes the vessel look more like a frigate than a destroyer, although classification depends on the navy applying the label. The exchange links Yi's historical reputation to modern fleet identity and shows why displacement alone does not settle ship type.
