Recently, there has been a heated debate over the construction of light aircraft carrier. Following last year, most of the government budgets related to light aircraft carrier allocated this year have been cut by the National Assembly. In favor of the construction of light aircraft earner, it is said that light aircraft carrier is a very useful national strategic asset that can be operated for various purposes, but the cost is not significantly borne. However, the logic against the construction of light aircraft earner argues that light aircraft earner are not more strategic and operational than the cost of their input in our strategic environment. The aircraft carrier is intended to project power into the sea, and it is dear that it is a national strategic asset and joint power closely related to national and military strategies. The process of building an aircraft carrier by a country that currently owns it was very complicated and rough. In particular, Britain has changed from the excessive debate over the construction of desirable naval forces and the construction of aircraft carriers in the strategic environment at hand since World War II, We should also look back to see if there has been sufficient discussion in the national decision to have a light aircraft earner. Many of the debates raised regarding the construction of light aircraft carrier disproves that sufficient discussion and consensus have not been formed through it. In the decision-making process, it is not known how much the military reduced the need for a light aircraft carrier and determined the cost. Large state-run projects require political decisions, but top-down decisions in acquiring national strategic assets can pose a lot of risks. Acquisition of strategic assets with large budgets can determine the direction of the military's construction of military power, and in the end, it is directly related to the victory or defeat of achieving national and military strategic goals. From this point of view, the construction of our light aircraft carrier should be examined one by one by related experts. As described by the authorities as now, the military should step up and verify whether the purpose of building a light aircraft carrier can be achieved in consideration of the enemy (threat), military strategy, military goal (target), and method. Excluding all historical considerations, we look forward to active discussions by related experts only in terms of national security and military construction.
