ok ok calm down msantor, you're slowly killing yourself with your temper :armysmile:

just in case God will grant the americans enough generosity for them to hand over to us a destroyer or two, what should it be if the Arleigh Burke is not possible?

I guess he will not permit us ... because we, ourselves believe that we deserve only second hand equipments and for the brand new or high end equipments we always think we are not capable of operating it.

Those look like some basic boats...I know the RP is known for its expertise in ship-building. How come the Govt. does not have local companies build naval vessels for the PN? Or vessels for the Coast-Guard etc.

MSantor is not a man of sound reason. Savages have always preferred the club for they know that they are powerless against the pen. But who is the greater fool - the savage or the one that gives him power? May Truth rebuke you.

Sir Marschall,

Indeed :you're correct, I'll hoped we have this guys show up soon: to build our very own modern Warship.

To all of you pessimists who always see the glass to be half-empty and not half-full, these boats are still very useful especially in securing our vulnerable harbors and ports.

Imagine what havoc to our economy it would cause if Abu Sayyaf suicide bomb-laden boats start ramming cargo ships in Manila Bay, Cebu port and Subic.

With these boats, patrolling these harbors will be easier for the PN.

That's the spirit, fieldmouse, every donation no matter how small should be taken positively. These cute boats are always better than no boats at all. :thumb:

bobo talaga mga pinoy :snipemo: :patrioticpinoy:

oo nga eh kasama ka na dun! kasi linahat mo na eh...

ang mga bobo at gago talaga ay yung mga nasa gobyerno natin na hindi marunong magpatakbo ng bansa natin. kaya tuloy wala na tayong magamit na pera sa pambili ng mga hi-tech weapons and military equipments, kasi NABULSA NA KAMO NG MGA SENADOR AT CONGRESSMEN NA NAGNANAKAW SA PORK BARREL AT IBA PA!
