Perhaps the Navy would like to have some of these

submarines are the best defensive weapon for countries with long coastlines.

kahit diesel lang, ok na. the disadvantage of the limited range of submarines (conventional, non-nuclear) is mitigated by the great number of possible bases for these ships.

Against a foreign aggressor, i'd put my money in diesel subs.

Against the MILF/MNF, of course i'll go for 35knot patrol boats :armyLol:

For a Navy, Subs have been proven to be extremely versatile warships. Here are a few roles they have played:

Attacking surface ships with torps and anti-ship missiles:

Hunting and killing subs with torps

Minelaying platform

Recon vessel

Special Operations Forces insertion, C&C and escape vehicle

A diesel or 2 would be good enough

But then, the PN would need to invest in training and infrastructure to support subs and train submariners
