Is it sarcasm to correct an erroneous assumption? Been a member since 2004, I rarely posts but I've been reading a lot of the posts including yours. In fact you're fond of posting pics along with your replies so can you find a pic of the Haixun 31 showing VLS as assumed by Mr. Kfir? |

We are not going to War but the Philippine Navy has a duty to protect the Country's Interests ... I wonder what will happen to her when PF15 arrives here. Hope PN won't let her go to the Scrap yard, its better if she will be on active duty coz Rajah Humabon has more GUNS than PF15... |

I just have one question. Did Philippine Navy arrest does chinese vessel? What is the Philippine Navy rules of engagement? I copy and paste one of the U.S. Navy rules of engagement.
And I think if our BRP Rajah Humabon don't fire a warning shot and fire a direct hit its still an act of self defense right? Since its the chinese vessel who is an aggressor in our own territory. |

Me too. Although its old. We can still do some upgrade. And since hamilton though much bigger than brp rajah humabon its not build to be a navy ship unlike brp rajah humabon. I think we can upgrade BRP rajah humabon into anti-submarine missile frigate. Or we can copy the design of BRP rajah humabon increase its size destroyer or small cruiser and equipt with weapons as defense against Chinese navy in mind. I know our shipyard in Cebu can build our own destroyer with right support by our governement and with some help from nationalistic businessman. Kung kaya nila mag bigay ng porche sa mga pulitiko. Bakit di nila kaya magbigay ng donation for our Navy. |

For sure this Chinese maritime patrol ship won't be alone, might be escorted by Medium size Submarine and they know that we don't have the capabilities to detect their Subs, that's more dangerous for our PN ships... Let's not forget the Cheonan incident in Korean Peninsula!!! Only thing they have to do is DENY IT, which their very good at..... Although according to reports from wikipedia "It was reported in 2004 that her fore Hedgehog ASW is still operational, together with her 8 K-gun Mk6 depth charge projectors and SQS-17B sonar." We do need to verify all these if they really are operational? thus any of you guys here have an info on this one?

another comedic speculation, ignorant too ...waters in Spratlys very shallow, not ideal for submarine operations. absolutely no connection with Cheonan incident LOL..that was between the Koreas unrelated to Spratlys issue. |

That would be a 'GRAVE MISTAKE' should China decide to go that direction... |
