List of equipment of the Philippine Navy

This is a list of equipment used by the Philippine Navy, the branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines that specializes in naval warfare. The service has made use of its existing equipment to fulfill its mandate while modernization projects are underway. Republic Act No. 7898 declares the policy of the State to modernize the military to a level where it can effectively and fully perform its constitutional mandate to uphold the sovereignty and preserve the patrimony of the republic. The law, as amended, has set conditions that should be satisfied when the defense department procures major equipment and weapon systems for the navy

For the retired naval ships of the service, see the list of decommissioned ships of the Philippine Navy.

Surface combatants

Jose Rizal class Guided Missile frigate

Main article: Jose Rizal-class frigate

BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150)

Frigates made by South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries based on the shipbuilder's HDF-2600 design, acquired under the Horizon 1 phase of the Revised AFP Modernization Program. The first ship BRP Jose Rizal was delivered in May 2020 while the BRP Antonio Luna arrived on March 21, 2021. The two ships of the class will become the most modern surface combatants of the Philippine Navy acquired to date. However, due to budgetary constraints set during initial stages of the acquisition project, the initial two ships of the class come "fitted for but not with" (FFBNW) several subsystems, including a Close-in Weapon System (CIWS), a Vertical Launching System (VLS), and a Towed Array Sonar System (TASS) as well as several electronic subsystems. These systems are planned to be acquired and installed at a later unspecified date.

Malvar class offshore patrol vessel

Main article: Malvar-class corvette

BRP Cebu

The ships making up this class actually came from different classes of former US Navy ships using a common hull: Admirable-class minesweepers, PCE-842-class patrol craft escorts, and PCE(R)-842-class rescue patrol craft escorts. The ships were handed over by the US government as part of Military Assistance, either directly to the Philippines becoming the first major surface combatants of the newly formed post-war Philippine Navy, or to the South Vietnamese government. Several of those given to South Vietnam eventually were absorbed into the Philippine Navy upon their escape during the end of the Vietnam War. ^{[5] [6]} Most were already decommissioned or lost through the years, although only one ship is still in active service with the Offshore Combat Force.

This ship is planned to be retired soon. ^[8]

Tarlac-class landing platform dock

Main article: Tarlac-class landing platform dock

BRP Davao del Sur

New Indonesian-made landing platform docks, current the Philippine Navy's foremost amphibious warfare platform and its first major brand new ship acquisition since the 1990s. It was acquired under the "Strategic Sealift Vessel" project and was based on the Indonesian Makassar-class landing platform dock. The ships can carry a Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) with up to 500 fully armed marines with their vehicles and equipment, and can also carry two small landing craft utilities (LCU). It has a helicopter deck capable of accommodating 2 12-tonne helicopters, as well as a hangar for 1 helicopter. ^[10] The ships are expected to be installed with additional weapons and improved sensor systems. ^[11] More are now being materialized for acquisition with slightly modified designs under the Philippine Navy's Landing Docks Acquisition Project, which is a Horizon 2 project of the Revised AFP Modernization Program. ^{[12] [13]}

BRP Dagupan City

The Bacolod City-class is the Philippine Navy's main amphibious operation platform prior to the delivery of the Tarlac-class LPD. The two ships were acquired through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. A contract for two ships was announced by Trinity Marine on 3 April 1992, with an option for a third ship which was not taken up. The design was based on a modified version of the US Army's General Frank S. Besson-class LSV, but without accommodation for 150 troops using the space originally for the stern ramp, and the addition of a small helicopter deck. The ship is used in a similar fashion as a Landing Ship-Tank, able to land troops and equipment directly to the beach. ^{[5] [14]}

BRP Laguna

Former US Navy LSTs that served during World War II, and transferred to numerous countries including the Philippines. The Philippine Navy received its first ships of the class on 30 December 1946, and has received almost 30 units between 1946 and 1976. Some of those that were received came through South Vietnam as several ships were absorbed by the Philippine Navy upon their escape at the end of the Vietnam War. ^[5] One of the ships, BRP Sierra Madre was deliberately grounded at Ayungin Shoal and is treated as an active ship despite being modified as a semi-permanent structure and outpost to a few Philippine Marines stationed in the contested territory. ^[15] Some of the ships were also used as helicopter platforms, stationing utility helicopters from the Philippine Air Force in several occasions, including during tensions with China in the Mischief Reef in 1995. ^[16]

Tagbanua-class landing craft heavy

The BRP Tagbanua (LC-296)

A sole ship of its class designed and built indigenously after the Philippine Navy called for the construction of a new landing craft utility (LCU). The contract to build 1 ship was awarded to Propmech Corporation in March 2010, with the Philippine Iron Construction and Marine Works (PICMW) building the ship based on a design developed with Propmech Corporation, which also supplied the propulsion and power systems of the ship. The design was not as successful as expected, and additional units were not ordered as the Philippine Navy received used landing crafts from Australia, and looked at acquiring larger, more capable strategic sealift assets.

Littoral warfare vessels

Alvarez class littoral patrol vessel

BRP General Mariano Alvarez (PS38)

Main article: Cyclone-class patrol ship

The Alvarez class are Philippine Navy versions of the Cyclone-class US Navy inshore patrol ships previously used by the United States Naval Special Warfare Command for low intensity conflict environments. The Philippine Navy received the lead class, formerly the USS Cyclone (PC-1), and was transferred at a time when the US Special Operations Command rejected the class for being too big for commando missions, while the Navy Fleet found them too small for patrol and combat missions. Following the US Occupation of Iraq, the US Navy intended to keep the remaining ships of the class until the last ship of the class were decommissioned in 2023, and the Philippine Navy was able to receive two more units, the former USS Monsoon (PC-4) and former USS Chinook (PC-9) which were transferred on 28 March 2023. ^{[23] [24]}

It was reported that the ships did not reach their potential design and were underpowered and problematic, and were retired in the 1990s but was pressed again to serve due to lack of operating naval assets.

Acero-class patrol gunboat

Ordered by the Philippine Navy from Israel Shipyards to eventually replace the Tomas Batilo-class fast attack crafts. Twelve were originally planned but only eight were initially funded as part of the Navy's procurement plan from 2018 to 2022. Four of the boats are to be built in Israel and will feature missile armament using the Rafael Spike NLOS short-range surface-to-surface missile, while the other four will be built in the PN's Cavite Naval Yard under a technology transfer agreement and will only be fitted for but not with the missile system. ^[26] An additional 1 unit was negotiated by the Philippine Navy, although it will not have missile systems. All are fitted with remote gun systems from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The first two units were officially christened on 6 September 2022, ^[27] and were formally commissioned on 28 November 2022. ^[28]
