The Philippine Navy’s first missile-capable frigate will be officially christened and put in active service as BRP Jose Rizal (FF150) on the national hero’s birthday on June 19.

“Frigate Jose Rizal was accorded the traditional passing honors with PS17 and three multipurpose assault crafts,” the Navy PAO acting director said as soon as the vessel reached Subic Bay on Saturday. “The momentous event was captured during the fly-by of two naval helicopters, the AgustaWestland antisubmarine helicopters AW159 and AW109.”

Offshore combat force commander Commodore Karl Decapia said the frigate was “capable of fighting the four dimensions of warfare,” referring to antiair, antisurface, antisubmarine, and electronic warfare. Roxas said the crew of BRP Jose Rizal would undergo a two-week quarantine period as part of government-imposed health protocols to stop the spread of the new coronavirus disease before technical inspection and acceptance of the vessel is conducted.

Malacañang on Sunday said the soon-to-be christened BRP Jose Rizal was a “breakthrough” in the transformation of the Philippine Navy as a “strong and credible maritime force.” “The arrival of the country’s most advanced warship, delivered during this administration, is a testament to the President’s commitment to modernize our armed forces,” said presidential spokesperson Harry Roque in a statement on Sunday.

soon they will order some dud missiles from china. the ON and OFF switch of that missile is controlled by chinese.

Kilala pa pala nila si Dr. Jose Rizal, sana tanda pa nila anong pinaglaban nya.

Mas effective pa ang itak na hawak ng makabayan kaysa malakas na barko na pinapatakbo ng traydor.

Philippe Navy at Philippine Air Force ang dapat pinag lalaanan ng malaking pundo ng Gobierno hindi ang PNP!

Ipapadala po ba yan sa West Philippine Sea?
