The Gangwon class was a class of 5 destroyers of the Republic of Korea Navy. They entered service in 1974; the last one was decommissioned in 2001.

These were ships used by the U.S. Navy during World War II and were modernized in electronics and weaponry during FRAM I. Throughout the 1970s, they constituted the backbone of the Republic of Korea Navy as a replacement for Chungmu-class destroyers. They remained in service until well into the 1990s. Initially leased till 1977, the ships were later purchased outright by the South Korean navy.

The Republic of Korea Navy acquired five destroyers of the Gearing class for the Republic of Korea Navy from the USA in 1974 as part of the American Military Assistance Program. More were later leased over in later years.

The last of these ships was decommissioned in 2001.
