They have classified it as an LPH, about 20,000 tons. Here she is, the ROKN Dokdo, 6111:

Haa a well deck that can carry two LCACs. On 30mm CIWS, and one 21 cell RAM launcher for self defense. But the South Koreans have the largest, most heavily armed AEGIS DDGs built to date, the Se Jong class DDG, to escort them..

Interesting that they chose the LPH designation since ours never had landing craft wells. BTW, our LHD’s are twice the tonnage and I’m sure much better electronic warfare.
