SEOUL — The South Korean Navy believes it can deploy two light aircraft carriers by 2036 and expand its blue-water force to cope with the rapid naval buildups of China and Japan, according to a Navy source.

The service has been exploring ways of securing light aircraft carriers based on an interim feasibility study, the source said.

"It's a hope," the Navy source said on condition of anonymity. "There are no fixed requirements at the moment, but we've been studying ways of launching light aircraft carriers over the next two decades."
