If PGMA can make this one a reality, this will surely appease the military and the citizenry, like us here, who dream of seeing our military turn into a modern and really capable one ... ... and BE SOMETHING WE CAN REALLY BE PROUD OF. I hope PGMA will realize that scenario. |

This was already been replaced by PDR due to lack of budget.. But, this are nice equipment to be purchased.. It gives a lot of firepower and surely the enemies of our Republic will surely think twice to intrude... Recent Philippine Navy ship purchases between 1993 and 1998 included the following: Two(2) Frank Besson class 4,200 ton amphibious transports (1993-1994), Two(2) Philippine-made large patrol gunboats, 279 tons (1995-1998), Twelve(12) South Korean Sea Killer 74-ton patrol gunboats (1993-1994), Six(6) South Korean Sea Dolphin 170-ton patrol gunboats (May 1995) and Twenty Four(24) Halter Marine 56-ton patrol crafts(1996-1998). Supposedly, between six to eleven of these Halter Marine patrol craft will be armed with MM.15 SSM or ROCKWELL Hellfire missiles An example of the South Korean 121 footer Sea Dolphin patrol gunboat in service with the Philippine Navy. It is armed with one(1) single-barreled 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, one(1) double-barreled 30mm Emerlec anti-missile gun and two(2) Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns. It has a top speed of up to 40 knots. This is an example of a MK38 25mm automatic cannon installed on a number of the Philippine Navy Halter-Marine 56 ton patrol craft. This cannon can fire either single shot or 200 rounds/minute up to 6,000 meters. A 78 footer Halter-Marine patrol boat in service with the Philippine Navy. It carries one(1) 25 mm automatic cannon, four(4) 12.7mm heavy machineguns and two(2) 7.62mm light machineguns. Jane's Defense Weekly reported details on future ship purchases in early September. For the years 1996 to 2000, there is a P3.5 billion peso overhaul program for 10 large vessels--4 transport ships, 1 repair ship, 1 multi-mission vessel and 4 patrol ships. The overhauls include replacing main and auxiliary engines, enhancing electrical systems, making structural improvements and new fire-control, weapons, and anti-ship missile systems. Specific ships to be overhauled were not mentioned, but may include four(4) Barnegat-class 2,800 ton frigates dating back to WWII and laid up in the late 1980s; one Achelous-class 4,300 ton repair ship, also laid up in the late 1980s; and the Type 511 or Type 512-1152 LSTs, of which the Philippine Navy had 24 examples in the 1980s. The single "multi-mission vessel" may refer to one of the two Cannon-class DEs, the Savage Class DE radar picket, or to the 2,700 ton Presidential Yacht, the "El Presidente"(Ang Pangulo) which was used as a reconnaissance ship during the Spratly crisis earlier this year with Communist China. Finally, due to the vastly improved Philippine economy, the Navy was able to get a new weapons and ships purchase budget for the 15 year period 1996 to 2010 of $5.5 billion dollars. For the years 1996 to 2000, there are P12.4 billion pesos earmarked to buy brand new ships, including one(1) mine countermeasures (MCMV) ship; two(2) search and rescue(SAR) 56 meter ships; six(6) fast attack craft(FACs) with short-range SSMs; two(2) fast attack craft(FACs) with medium-range SSMs; three(3) offshore patrol vessels(OPVs), and two(2) guided missile corvettes. One of the two Search and Rescue(SAR) ships, the BRP San Juan(SAR 001), built by Tenix of Australia now in service with the Philippine Coast Guard(PCG). These 56 meter long SAR ships have a 807 ton displacement and come equipped with a helicopter deck over the stern for Bell or Sikorsky helicopters. These ships also carry six(6) rescue boats for 65 persons each, one(1) interception boat and four(4) SOLAS life-rafts each capable of loading 25 persons. They have a speed of up to 24 knots, a range of 2,000 miles and can carry 300 survivors during a SAR mission or more than 300 troops on a troop lift mission. The FF-21 Frigate is one of the ships being offered for sale to the Philippine Navy. It comes in several lengths including 85 meter, 125 meter and 150 meter versions. For the years 2000 to 2010, plans include purchases of thirty-three(33) more missile patrol craft(FACs), nine more OPVs, two(2) more MCMVs, four(4)more SARs, four(4) Amphibious Transport ships, four(4) more guided missile corvettes, and three(3) guided missile frigates. The ship purchases are made possible even though the budget is small because most of the ships will be built in the Philippines using domestic navy shipyards and low cost labor (including naval personnel), along with technology transfers.

Shipbuilders scramble to meet Philappines deadline Sea Power, Jul 1997 by Preston, Antony new The race is on to win an order to build three offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for the Philippine Navy. A tight deadline is dictated by the fact that the country has a presidential election next spring-time limits for government contracts have been imposed to meet anti-graft rules, and if the OPV order is delayed it will have to wait until at least three months after the election. Several probable bidders, including both Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News Shipbuilding, were at the International Maritime and Defense Exposition (IMDEX Asia) in Singapore in May, along with a number of European yards such as Vosper Thornycroft and Yarrow Shipbuilders (United Kingdom), Empresa Nacional Bazan (Spain), Blohm+Voss (Germany), and Transfield (Australia). Various builders claimed to be on the short list, but most agreed that there also might be some "political" bidders invited, such as South Korea's Daewoo. The OPV requirement calls for a vessel with a maximum speed in excess of 20 knots, an endurance of 3,500 nautical miles, and a common hull which can be adapted to meet a later requirement for missile-armed corvettes. Vosper Thornycroft showed an 83.7-meter OPV based on its 83meter corvettes built for Oman. The Blohm+Voss design incorporates features of the MEKO 100 and 77-meter Modular Patrol Vessel (MPV). Ingalls is offering its corvette design, modified to meet the OPV mission, with a 76mm Mk 75 gun, a twin 30mm Emerlec mount forward, and a Mk 15 Phalanx close-in weapons system (CIWS) aft. The Spanish BOPV design is based on the Descubierta-class corvettes currently in service with the Spanish, Egyptian, and Moroccan navies. Antony Preston, a London-based naval analyst, lecturer, and broadcaster, is co-founder of the international biweekly newsletter NAVINT. Please confirm this old news pls.. And if possible the specs of the abovementioned vessels.. Thanks very much... |

sadly, nothing came out from that plan. ![]() the only positive thing that happened in 1997 was the acquisition of the three ex-Royal Navy Peacock class patrol vessels, which are now known in PN service as the Jacinto class patrol vessels. |
