The new flag officer in command of the Philippine Navy has vowed to make its existing and upcoming platforms to be efficient through time in order to truly fulfill their mandate. | FMangosingINQ

1. Sustainment suite for new platforms, weapons and sensors of the fleet and the Marines

Materiel and facility requirements must also be included in every modernization package. As the Navy acquires more ships, there should also be a program for drydocks that can accommodate the ships. There should also be a program for special tools and test equipment, a program for simulators, etc. Naval port facilities should also be developed.

There should also be heavy investment in personnel through training, selective recruitment, strict observance of attrition policies, among others. He also stressed the need to modernize base facilities.Bacordo said his priorities were driven from Navy’s past experiences, where new defense platforms did not guarantee that it will stay in fighting status in the next 5 to 10 years.

— Three years after the Navy received the three Jacinto-class patrol vessels from the British Hong Kong squadron in 1997, not a single 76mm Oto Melara gun of the ships was firing. Not a single loiter drive of these vessels was operating. At that time, it was the most modern of the Navy platforms.
