And we're just talking about hulls, which is not exactly the most expensive part of the warship. As for the Maestrale, there is more to it that was not discussed in the blog since the information came in after MaxDefense published the blog topic. But according to MaxDefense sources it's not the Philippine government's fault why they did not push through with a deal with the Italians.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-33536016339724371892013-08-08T03:01:59.132+10:002013-08-08T03:01:59.132+10:00everybody started with out that much knowledge of ...everybody started with out that much knowledge of what they are about to do... they went through trial and error from the design, building and during operation of almost anything... well at least we dont have to go through these process as these maestrales are already proven to be a successful and effective design. are we really sure that the maestrales are too much to handle for ou navy? ganyan na ba talaga tayo ka bobo? the equipment is there, we only need trainig on how to use such equipments and trainors are part od the package...mahirap ba talaga?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775218048921565995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-21558598591312239532013-08-07T15:59:51.886+10:002013-08-07T15:59:51.886+10:00So when are we going to buy the new frigates and u...So when are we going to buy the new frigates and upskill our sailors? when the shooting starts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-24531456596641538702013-08-05T17:14:57.046+10:002013-08-05T17:14:57.046+10:00To our DND officials need speedy action not press ...To our DND officials need speedy action not press released everyday for nothing.make this matter a confidential.our territorial problem with china need a speedy solution.for me the offer of italian government is the best solution right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-63695333013237131702013-07-20T21:18:20.153+10:002013-07-20T21:18:20.153+10:00the country needs a missile-firing boat. people ar...the country needs a missile-firing boat. people are sick and tired of hearing crap from the DOD. they need to get rid of these chinese pests lurking less than hundred miles from the country. permanent structures erected by these 'crocs' are everywhere and our military had done nothing....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-68101697938025751002013-07-13T05:04:38.612+10:002013-07-13T05:04:38.612+10:00Although it is true that Navies don't happen o...Although it is true that Navies don't happen overnight, but threats are clearly here at present. In other words, we have to respond and have a Navy overnight. Under normal circumstances, yes, we can afford comprehensive technical training and technical/logistical supports that would take decades perhaps, but that's under normal circumstance. Today, at this present time, our country needs it now and not 10-20 years later but now. <br /><br />With the US Navy's plan of putting up equipment in Subic for USN ships services, if it is approved, I think we can make a deal in servicing our ships with them as well if we are not equip to handle Maestrelis or other modern ships that we will acquire very soon. Perhaps we can even train some of our sailors in that support area as well with the planned USN facility in Subic. What do you guys think?

How long has it been since an administration rolled up their sleeves and got to work? Not since several decades at least. I think we have come to some maturity here as a nation. Social issues will come to resolve by the people themselves. The coming of social networks and the increase availability of the internet has significantly increase the awareness of many citizens. Words gt out more quickly about wrong doings and good deeds by certain people. This is one key element in making social/internal progress.<br /><br />Right now, our focus cannot be solely internal as there are potential threats externally coming from the WP Sea. We cannot neglect that threat especially that we are already facing that threat currently already. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-36229751912329862972013-07-05T00:34:15.958+10:002013-07-05T00:34:15.958+10:00What the government needs to do now to focus it pr...What the government needs to do now to focus it priority on domestic issues within the country.

He mistakenly used the word "Maestrale" instead of the word "frigate". The same interview already revealed that the PN would probably get a consultant to help create the specifications for the ship before a bidding will take place. So it only shows that there is no definite model or supplier yet for the frigate.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.com
