Things are getting better for the Navy. First it was reported in Strategy page that the it is mounting mini missiles ( spike-er a powerful guided anti-tank with a reange up to 10 kms) on its small PCF's to neutralize small naval targets and this has been a secret until strategy page expsed it. Now we have 4 repaired ships with upgraded capanilities ready to be deployed in our western frontier. Really the Navy is doing its homework they desrve commendations folks |

I just hope the millions of pesos spent on them won't be wasted.

Changed engines? Did it improve its speed and features from its previous known capability? BTW what are the speeds of these ships? |

Running out of Cyclones? What about the Kagitingan-class ![]() ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kagitingan class small patrol boats Displacement: 150 tons full load Dimensions: 37 x 6.2 x 1.7 meters/121.4 x 20.3 x 5.6 feet Propulsion: 2 diesels, 2 shafts, 2,050 bhp, 16 knots Crew: 30 Armament: 1 dual 30 mm, 4 12.7 mm MG, 2 7.62 mm MG Concept/Program: German-designed boats; first two built in Germany, others apparently assembled at Cavite, perhaps from kits. An unsuccessful design. Discared by 1992 but some units reactivated in 1994. There is some confusion as to which are actually in service. Builders: W. Muller, Hameln, Germany (see note above). Number Name Year FLT Homeport Notes P101 Kagitingan 1979 PAC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (INFO from Opus224 http://www.geocities.com/opus224) The Aguinaldo-class ![]() Emilio Aguinaldo (PG-140) Antonio Luna (PG-141) Displacement: 279 tons full load Length: 144.4 ft (44 m) Speed: 18 knots Range: 1,100 mi. at 18 knots Crew: 6 officers + 52 enlisted Armament: 2-Bofors 40mm/60 2-Oerlikon 20mm Notes: Steel hull based on that of Tirad Pass large patrol craft built for Philippine Coast Guard by Japan in 1974. Superstructure based on that of Kagitingan class. One more laid down at Sangley Point in Cavite. Original plan called for 6 to be built but this number may not be reached. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It can help create a new Stingray group. Much slower though compared to the Cyclones. Better deal? GET MORE CYCLONES! :thumb: |

I would like to see the above boats' main weapon upgraded to Rheinmetall's new 30mm naval gun:

Still looks like the same old Admirable class minesweeper of the '40s. It's as old as my mom. At least my mom can still whip some butt. I read that in the news it has a new 40mm canon and some .50cal AA. It can shoot down a kite at 500mts. A for effort. Let's see what an old ship can do. |

An "A" for effort indeed, but I will just wait and see for the outcome of these recent upgrades. Personally, I am not that impressed. The Quezon is a WWII vintage and should've been decommisioned a long time ago. |
