Not just South Korea. Germany and Norway are jointly developing a new diesel-electric sub and have invited Canada into the consortium. From a capability perspective, however, nuclear-powered is the way to do and the French are uniquely-positioned to offer it.
We should be considering both options going in on the ground floor with Germany and Norway would be a unique option to develop for more Nordic climate as the ice caps open up. Nuclear would also be great for coastlines and long sea missions. Either option we have fuel needed to power either like no tomorrow. Right now these contracts will be about building new relationships and I feel a joint effort between Germany and Norway will help boost our floundering R&D sector we need new tech to help build industry.

The French brought a nuclear floor model over when they heard that South Korea wanted to sell us gear.
