Guys I'm confused, how's our naval assets are classified?
for instance the cannon class Rajah Humabon is designated as PF 11 the Jacintos are corvettes, PS 35 the AUK class Rizal is PS 74 the Ang Pangulo is AT25
so what does those PF, PS, AT, PG mean?

I'm making an educated guess

PF - Patrol Frigate
PS- Patrol Ship
PG- Patrol Gunboat
AT- Attack Transport

First letter indicated type of warship. Second letter indicates class of ship. For example:

In the case of "P" and "F" in PF-11 Rajah Humabon:
"P" is used for combat ships that are surface combatants.
"F" is used to classify the ship as a Frigate.

Another example:

In the case of "P" and "S" in PS-70 Quezon:
"P" is used for combat ships that are surface combatants.
"S" is used to classify the ship as a Corvette or Offshore Patrol Vessel.

In the case of "A" and "T" in AT-25 Ang Pangulo:
"A" is used for auxiliary ships, while
"T" is used to classify it as Transport ship.

It is a very long list...but hope this gives an enlightenment.
