The Philippine military can also contract commercial firms for sea transport like we do here in the US...... unless there are secret Philippine military vehicles and equipment on that LST that the rest of the world do not know of? :armyeek:

USS Bagaduce (AT-21/ATO-21) was the lead ship of her class of fleet tugs for the United States Navy. She was the first ship of the U.S. Navy of that name, and is named for the Bagaduce River and a peninsula in Hancock County, Maine.

Bagaduce (Tug No. 21) was laid down on 16 July 1918 at Buffalo, New York, by the Ferguson Steel and Iron Company; briefly named Ammonoosuc in February 1919; renamed Bagaduce on 24 February 1919; launched 5 April 1919; and commissioned at Buffalo on 18 September 1919, Lt.(jg.) Frank Mogridge in command.
