Some PN boats have side-scan sonar

Ping !

One of the Andrada class patrol boats being used to look for the crashed plane in masbate has a side-scan sonar according to news reports. is this sonar normally used for mine-detection ?? or was this sonar borrowed from a fishing company...... what would be the military applications of side-scan sonar on a small patrol boat ??

I remember when the PAF C-130 crashed in Davao, a PN boat with sonar was also used to look for the C-130. the boat was one of those older VU boats used for assault. I forgot if that sonar was borrowed from a fishing company or if it was PN property.

The Cyclone class is supposed to have a WESMAR sonar while the some or all of the Govt research vessels also have sonar(NAMRIA, BFAR and BRP Explorer(mines bureau)

By the way, ito ay cincuenta mil dollares($50,000) lamang:
