If you think about it, maybe the reason why they kept mum re; this matter is because if they try to explain what their plans are after acquiring the WHEC715 the "Politiko's" might give them a problem.... Just hope that it doesn't end there.... meaning their are upgrade plans included that they are working on right now, before the ship arrives in Manila. I don't think they'll just buy this ship for nothing and as of now nobody knows how much they paid for the WHEC 715 and hopefully there's extra budget set aside for upgrades for SS, ASW, CIWS replacement. Remember the budget they used to buy the WHEC 715 is part of the DOE Budget if I'm not mistaken, so there's quite much left......so let's keep our hopes up! One reason why the PN opted to buy the WHEC 715 is because it uses almost same engines that we are using on our PN Ships and engineers are very much familiar with it, regarding the difference in maintenance wise, our labor here in P.I. is way cheaper than in US, so it's logical, when it comes to other equipments of the Hamilton and it's size, it's still worthy ship for us and with Modern Systems that will be good for our PN to train with for future acquisitions of Modern War Ships.

Then it is better best served the Filipino People very well If Admiral Pama does have plans to install and up-grades new weapons and advance navigation, communication with digital battlefield technology that goes the needs of that Hamilton ship! He should somehow announce to us all that the ship IS well worth spending on and by thus far us PDFF members are always in discussions about the Hamilton I hope and somehow would have follow are plea and suggestion that will make us proud of the Hamilton class ship entering Philippine Navy service..
