Surface combatants

Jose Rizal frigate
Main article: Jose Rizal-class frigate
BRP Jose Rizal

Brand new frigates made by South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries based on the shipbuilder's HDF-2600 design, acquired under the Horizon 1 phase of the Revised AFP Modernization Program. The first ship BRP Jose Rizal was delivered in May of 2020 while the BRP Antonio Luna was initially scheduled to arrive by October 2020, though this may be delayed to 2021. The two ships of the class will become the most modern surface combatants of the Philippine Navy acquired to date. However, due to budgetary constraints set during initial stages of the acquisition project, the initial two ships of the class come "fitted for but not with" (FFBNW) several subsystems, including a Close-in Weapon System (CIWS), a Vertical Launching System (VLS), and a Towed Array Sonar System (TASS) as well as several electronic subsystems. These systems are planned to be acquired and installed at a later unspecified date.

Malvar class offshore patrol vessel
Main article: Malvar-class corvette
BRP Cebu

The ships making up this class actually came from different classes of former US Navy ships using a common hull: Admirable-class minesweepers, PCE-842-class patrol craft escorts, and PCE(R)-842-class rescue patrol craft escorts. The ships were handed over by the US government as part of Military Assistance, either directly to the Philippines becoming the first major surface combatants of the newly formed post-war Philippine Navy, or to the South Vietnamese government. Several of those given to South Vietnam eventually were absorbed with the Philippine Navy upon their escape during the end of the Vietnam War.[3][4] Considered the oldest active warship of the Philippine Navy and in the world, BRP Pangasinan serving the fleet for 70 years. Several units were already decommissioned or lost through the years, although 3 ships are still in active service with the Offshore Combat Force. These ships are expected to be replaced soon, once the Philippine Navy commissions newer ships along the acquisition pipeline between 2018 and 2022.[7]

BRP Davao del Sur

New Indonesian-made landing platform docks, current the Philippine Navy's foremost amphibious warfare platform and its first major brand new ship acquisition since the 1990s. It was acquired under the "Strategic Sealift Vessel" project and was based on the Indonesian Makassar-class landing platform dock. The ships can carry up a Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) with up to 500 fully armed marines and their vehicles and equipment, and carries two small landing craft utilities (LCU) with it. It has a helicopter deck capable of accommodating 2 12-ton helicopters, as well as a hangar for 1 helicopter.[8] The ships are expected to be installed with additional weapons and improved sensor systems.[9] More are being planned for acquisition with slightly modified designs, under the Philippine Navy's RAFPMP Horizon 2 modernization program.[10]

Bacolod City class logistics support vessel
Main article: Bacolod City-class logistics support vessel
BRP Dagupan City

The Bacolod City-class is the Philippine Navy's main amphibious operation platform prior to the delivery of the Tarlac-class LPD. The two ships were acquired through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. A contract for two ships was announced by Trinity Marine on 3 April 1992, with an option for a third ship which was not taken up. The design was based on a modified version of the US Army's General Frank S. Besson-class LSV, but without accommodation for 150 troops using the space originally for the stern ramp, and the addition of a small helicopter deck. The ship is used in a similar fashion as a Landing Ship-Tank, able to land troops and equipment directly to the beach.[3][11]

Main article: Landing Ship, Tank
BRP Laguna

Former US Navy landing ships-tank that served during World War II, and transferred to numerous countries including the Philippines. The Philippine Navy received its first ships of the class on 30 December 1946, and has received almost 30 units between 1946 and 1976. Some of those that were received came through South Vietnam as several ships were absorbed by the Philippine Navy upon their escape at the end of the Vietnam War.[3] One of the ships, BRP Sierra Madre is technically retired from service, but was deliberately grounded at Ayungin Shoal and is treated as an active ship despite being modified as a semi-permanent structure and outpost to a few Philippine Marines stationed in the contested territory.[12] Some of the ships were also used as helicopter platforms, stationing utility helicopters from the Philippine Air Force in several occasions, including during tensions with China in the Mischief Reef in 1995.[13]

Littoral Warfare Vessels

Cyclone class littoral patrol vessel
Main article: Cyclone-class patrol ship
BRP General Mariano Alvarez

The Cyclone class are actually US Navy inshore patrol ships currently being used by the United States Naval Special Warfare Command for low intensity conflict environment. The Philippine Navy's ship is actually the lead class, formerly the USS Cyclone (PC-1), and was transferred at a time when the US Special Operations Command rejected the class for being too big for commando missions, while the Navy Fleet found them too small for patrol and combat missions. After transferring USS Cyclone, the US Navy revised its plans and intended to keep the remaining ships of the fleet. The Philippine Navy has made it known in the past that they are interested in more units if the US intends to retire some other ships of the class.

BRP Bagong Silang

Originally designed and built in Germany, the Kagitingan class was supposed to be built in numbers in the Philippines after the initial unit. It was reported that the ships did not reach their potential design and were underpowered and problematic, and were retired in the 1990s but was pressed again to serve due to lack of operating naval assets. Out of four, only 2 ships of the class remain and are expected to be retired from service as more new assets become available.

Tomas Batilo class fast assault craft
Main article: Tomas Batilo-class patrol craft
BRP Salvador Abcede

Originally from South Korea and are known as the Chamsuri-class patrol killer medium (PKM-200 series) fast attack craft. These boats were designed for coastal patrol against North Korean patrol boats. 8 were handed-over to the Philippine Navy starting 1995. Designed and built by Korea Tacoma Shipyard in South Korea from the late 1970s, these boats are heavily armed for their size as their intention is to overwhelm similar-sized boats with heavy firepower. Armaments and fit-out differ on several boats, both due to modifications made by the Republic of Korea Navy based on batches and due to changes made by the Philippine Navy over the years to fit their requirement. Some of the boats were already retired as the Philippine Navy undergo modernization and acquisition of new replacements.
