[OPINION] The Philippines needs submarines

Surface combatants can establish a presence, but, given the numerical ration involved, it makes better sense for the Philippines to consider a game-changing option: submarines.

Critics will argue, legitimately, that submarines are more complex and expensive than surface ships, and even if the nation starts now, it will be at least 4 years before it gains a fully operational submarine. Submarines backed by air power change the nautical game, but the presence of air power simply reinforces the submarine’s already serious threat. Submarines can strike without warning, and bullies know it.

Submarines can be sunk too...
