In addition to this update, there will be an anti-submarine weapon system to be installed for the 2 PN Hamilton class WHECs. - JDW Not just anti-submarine helicopters and submarine-launched torpedo decoys? If it's called a system then definitely a hull-mounted sonar should be included!

Philippine Navy Chief Vice Admiral Alexander Pama said the second US ship costs $5 million more than the first Hamilton-class cutter which the government bought under the US Excess Defense Articles Program. "We are installing lots of equipment in the (second) ship," said Pama in an interview after the opening of the Amphibious Landing Exercise (PHIBLEX) 2013. The ship is set to leave the United States by January next year after the refurbishing and training of Filipino personnel are completed.

What I believe we should do right now is to fervently wait for the ship to arrive back home. To see is to believe, media reports are sometimes half baked. Speculations regarding the installation of missiles are....a little bit dodgy.

With only $5 million? I think it will come on time. Edited by Hong Nam, Oct 9 2012, 10:39 PM.
