The Philippine’s most powerful warships went to Huangyan Island

the Philippines as the Asia-Pacific military forces the most one of the countries with weak, heavy dependence on the U.S. second-hand aircraft, ships and guns. As a long-time ally and former colonies, the Philippines has been to the U.S. to buy weapons and arms expansion, and, increasingly, not satisfied with second-hand equipment.

Philippine’s most advanced warship is the second-hand goods

early 2011, the Philippine Navy and the United States to discuss, buy a used Hamilton patrol boats to to update the aging fleet, it is used in place of the main frigate in the Philippines – Cannon-class Raja Hu Ma Bang “. May 13 that year, the U.S. military will be aboard the patrol vessel delivered Philippines. The Philippines named “德尔皮拉尔” The warship is one of confrontation between the protagonist and ocean surveillance ships on April 10.

Philippine media reported “德尔皮拉尔” has been in the Philippine navy’s most advanced, the largest tonnage of warships. But in fact, aboard the so-called “state-of-the-art patrol boats is now one of the oldest warship in the world.

military experts said Li Jie, “the ‘德尔皮拉尔’ is the largest warships in the Philippines, but only U.S. Coast Guard out of the second-hand ships. The warship, also known as gunboat, because the ship did not carry anti-ship missile and air defense missiles and other weapons, but

traditional artillery major offensive and defensive weapons. “

Philippine ships difficult threat to the South China Sea

Although the ship itself to fall behind, but the the “德尔皮拉尔 The equipment fire is not weak. Allegedly, the class gunboat equipped with advanced, the small caliber artillery and command of U.S. Navy ships currently in use, fire control system. Philippine media commented that the ships can not play the “vanguard” function, but play defense more than enough.

In this regard, Li Jie analysis that, in fact, the Philippines, these ships are basically unable to pose too much threat to the South China Sea, the Philippines only has to rely on the country’s most advanced “德尔皮拉尔great tonnage to the formation of a deterrent. Ships in the Philippines compared with the Chinese fishery, maritime surveillance of vessels, because the latter vessels do not have too many weapons, artillery of the ships of the Philippine side still has certain advantages, but only in the form of the formation of pressure. “</P (edit: SN049) the share: related topics: ocean surveillance ship in the South China Sea confrontation with the Philippine warships
