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 specializing 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, sets 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.

BRP Miguel Malvar FFG-6

Frigates made by South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries based on the shipbuilder's HDF-3000 design, acquired under the Horizon 2 phase of the Revised AFP Modernization Program. The first ship BRP Miguel Malvar was sent off to the Philippines on March 31 2025. The Malvar arrived 4 days ahead of schedule, on April 4 2025. The arrival ceremony was still held on April 8, as originally planned. Its commissioning ceremony into active duty took place during the 127th anniversary of the Philippine Navy on 20 May 2025. The second ship of the class, BRP Diego Silang was delivered on 9 September 2025. ^[1] The two ships of the class are the most modern surface combatants of the Philippine Navy acquired to-date. Two additional improved Malvar-Class frigates were ordered with a budget of $585 million. ^{[2] [3]}

BRP Davao del Sur LD-602

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. ^[15] The ships are expected to be installed with additional weapons such as the 76mm guns, the same from the Jose Rizal Class and improved sensor systems. ^[16] 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. ^{[17] [18]}

BRP Dagupan City (LC-551)

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. ^{[19] [20]}

BRP Laguna (LS-501)

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. ^[19] 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. ^[21] 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. ^[22]

Tagbanua-class landing craft heavy

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 patrol boat

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. ^{[31] [32]}

Kagitingan class patrol boat

Main article: Kagitingan-class patrol craft

BRP Bagong Silang (PB-104)

Originally designed and built in Germany, the Kagitingan class was supposed to be built in numbers in the Philippines after the initial unit. 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 fast attack craft

Main article: Acero-class patrol gunboats

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. ^[34] 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, ^[35] and were formally commissioned on 28 November 2022. ^[36]

Navarette class patrol craft

Main article: Point-class cutter

BRP Abraham Campo (PC-396)

Former Point-class coastal cutters of the US Coast Guard. Philippine Navy received several units transferred by the US government and formerly used by the South Vietnamese Navy, but were sold for scrap due to poor condition. Two units were transferred to the Philippine Navy as part of US Military Assistance in 1999 and 2001. They were designed with steel hulls and an aluminum superstructure for durability compared to earlier wooden-hulled patrol crafts.
