The 2018 International Fleet Review in Jeju has officially begun on Wednesday.
The South Korean Navy has organized a number of events through Sunday,... including Thursday's main fleet review that will showcase dozens of warships from 12 different countries.
Kan Hyeong-woo has more.
With several maritime patrol aircrafts and helicopters leading the way,... more than a dozen warships in a line formation sail towards the flagship.

The South Korean Navy held a final rehearsal before the main event of this year's international fleet review,... which is set to take place on Thursday off the southern coast of Jeju-do Island.

After the warships and submarines passed by the flagship, the South Korean Navy's Underwater Demolition Team showed off their maritime infiltration skills by jumping from an aircraft at a high altitude into the operation area in the sea.

"As the main driving force of the nation's maritime powers, the South Korean Navy will support peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and keep sailing until our country becomes one of the world's strongest maritime powers."

Taking place for the third time in South Korea, the 2018 International Fleet Review features the largest number of participating foreign naval forces ...with representatives from 46 countries coming to Jeju-do island.

Most of the events are open to the public at the Jeju Civilian-Military Complex Port through Sunday.

"As well as showing the South Korean Navy's fire power, this year's international fleet review will highlight the nation's strong ties with its allies. Kan Hyeong-woo, Arirang News, Jeju."
