This would give us a pivotal point in naval modern warfare. At the same time a good platform for training on anti submarine warfare since it was armed with torpedoes and hull sonar. Now all we need is a good surplus electric diesel submarine to compliment it .

I've heard about future upgrades but this platforms should be their cornerstone and a good training ship for modern naval warfare and beside the PN has 2 . Why not make use what we have instead of discussing what we don't have.

TOTAL COST FOR A CREDIBLE CUTTER WILL BE AROUND $45 -$50 MILLION. THE PHIL NAVY MIGHT ENCOUNTER A SLIGHT PROBLEM SUCH AS ELECTRICAL OR SOME MINOR STUFF.

This purchases will only (at least) greatly improve the search and rescue and maritime patrols capability of the Philippine Navy in deep waters. But in naval warfare??? Not even an inch of improvement. In my opinion, we should at least bought the maestrale class for an immediate real and capable posture for territorial defense. Then still buy new frigates as part of its long term plans. Also, here is my additional wish list: 4 additional bnew frigates plus 10 bnew corvettes for PN.
