List of equipment of the Philippine Navy

This is a list of equipment of the Philippine Navy, including current assets of the Philippine Fleet and the Naval Air Wing, as well as those that are planned to be acquired. For the list of retired naval ships see List of decommissioned ships of the Philippine Navy.

Surface combatants[]

Jose Rizal class frigate[]

Brand new 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.

Del Pilar class offshore patrol vessel[]

Formerly US Coast Guard cutters of the Hamilton-class, granted to the Philippine Navy as part of US Military Assistance Program. The first ship BRP Gregorio del Pilar was handed over by the US Coast Guard to the Philippine Navy on 13 May 2011, and commissioned on 14 December 2011. Currently the 3 ships of the class are being used to train the organization on modern warship operations in preparation for future new assets being acquired under the Revised AFP Modernization Program. The class will undergo sensor upgrades, with the US government providing SAAB AN/SPS-77 Sea Giraffe AMB 3D air/surface search radars,^[1] FLIR Systems SEAFLIR 230 electro-optical/infra-red (EO/IR) system, and BAE Systems Mark 38 Mod.2 25mm gun systems under FMS & FMF programs.

Amphibious Warfare Vessels[]

Tarlac class landing platform dock[]

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 up a Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) with up to 500 fully armed marines and their vehicles and equipment, and carries two small landing craft utilities (LCU) with it. It has a helicopter deck capable of accommodating 2 12-ton helicopters, as well as a hangar for 1 helicopter.^[7] The ships are expected to be installed with additional weapons and improved sensor systems.^[8] More are being planned for acquisition with slightly modified designs, under the Philippine Navy's RAFPMP Horizon 2 modernization program.^[9]

Bacolod City class logistics support vessel[]

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.^[3][10]

LST-1/LST-542 class landing ship tank[]

Former US Navy landing ships-tank 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.^[3] One of the ships, BRP Sierra Madre is technically retired from service, but 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.^[11] 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.^[12]

Tagbanua class landing craft utility[]

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 on 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.

Former Balikpapan-class landing craft heavy of the Royal Australian Navy, and were built in the 1970s. Two ships were donated by the Australian Government in 2015 as it was noted that marine transport was lacking in the Philippine Navy during HADR operations following Typhoon Yolanda. All three remaining units with the RAN were purchased by the Philippine Government in 2015 and delivered by 2016.^[13] They are currently used for transport military and civilian equipment and supplies around the country.

Mulgae class landing craft utility[]

Originally from the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), and transferred to the Philippine Navy. Currently only one ship, the former ROKN LCU-78, has been made available to the Philippine Navy and transferred in 2015,^[14] but there are no reports of potential transfer of additional ships of the class in the future. The design was loosely based on US-designed LCU-1610 by Tacoma Boatbuilding Company, and were built by Korea Tacoma in the 1970s.

Littoral Warfare Vessels[]

Cyclone class littoral patrol vessel[]

The Cyclone class are inshore patrol ships currently being used by the United States Navy for low intensity conflict environment. However, United States Naval Special Warfare Command rejected the class for being too big for commando missions, while the Navy Fleet found them too small for patrol and combat missions. The Philippine Navy's ship, formerly the USS Cyclone (PC-1), serves as the lead ship of the class, and was procured as part of US Military Assistance. Following the US Occupation of Iraq, the US Navy intended to keep the remaining ships of the class. The Philippine Navy has made it known in the past that they are interested in procuring more units if the US intends to retire some other ships of the class.

Kagitingan class littoral patrol craft[]

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. Out of four, only 2 ships of the class remain and are expected to be retired from service as more new assets become available.
