Based on this updated list from Seawaves, it looks like the PN will indeed get 2 more 378' High Endurance Cutters from the USCG and will be designated as PF-16 and PF-17 respectively... http://www.seawaves.com/developments.asp |

PN was given the the priviledge for Exercise Option of additional min of 2 and max of 8 WHEC's, as per Cuisia statement on May 2011. However, PH govt is eyeing a totally brand NEW V-hull type of foreign design and w/ US standards, noting the Austal has won contract w/ USN to develop new ships and will be done in Cebu, enabling a minimum of 2,000 jobs. |

What does "PF" stand for? "Patrol Force", "Patrol Frigate"? I really hope our Navy will soon acquire ships from Cebu. |

Nice one KFIR! "Parang Frigate" pero hinde...? Like what Manong Johnny Enrile said "Itanong niyo sa sarile niyo, kung ganito nalang ba tayo habang buhay?" |

Kidding aside... How do you define a modern frigate?
http://www.answers.com/topic/frigate#ixzz1SRZWlZeP
http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Frigate
None of the definitions above matches the BRP Gregorio Del Pilar (PF-15) because it was a cutter in the US Coast Guard. In the Philippine Navy, it should have been called a large corvette and designated as PS (patrol ship). |

Eh di ang best designation sa Gregorio Del Pilar ay "FF-15" for Feeling Frigate 15!
