PH Navy welcomes newest patrol vessel

ZAMBALES — The Philippine Navy’s newest offshore patrol vessel, the future BRP Rajah Sulayman (PS20), has arrived from South Korea, which marks another significant addition to the Navy’s growing modern fleet.

The vessel was met on Saturday, January 17, in waters off Zambales by BRP Jose Rizal (FF150), the Navy’s first missile-capable frigate, as part of standard naval protocols upon entering Philippine waters.

After completing coordination and meeting procedures at sea, the future BRP Rajah Sulayman will begin post-delivery activities and technical checks.

The ship is scheduled to undergo acceptance and pre-commissioning processes prior to its formal entry into active service.
