The Philippine military has been
at the forefront of the matter with respect to disaster response brought about
by super typhoon Rolly.
The Philippine Navy has announced that
four of its largest ships are now ready for possible sealift and
command-and-control missions.
This was announced by PN public
affairs office chief Lt. Commander Maria Christina Roxas Tuesday when asked
about the Philippine Navy’s contribution to the ongoing disaster response
efforts by the government for typhoon victims.

Ships now on standby
are the PN’s two landing docks, the BRP Tarlac and BRP Davao Del Sur, and two logistics
support vessels, the BRP Bacolod City and BRP Dagupan City.
“(These ships could)
basically serve as military sealift and transport vessel(s) and may act as floating
command-and-control ship(s) during times of humanitarian assistance and
disaster response operations (HADR),” Roxas said in a message to the Philippine
News Agency (PNA).
Roxas said the foru ships are the largest in the
fleet with the Tarlac-class dockings having a gross tonnage of 7,400 tons and
an overall length of 120 meters, breadth of 21 meters, draft of five meters and
can carry a payload of 2,800 tons.
Meanwhile, the Bacolod
City-class logistic support vessels have a displacement of 4,265 tons at full
load and 273 feet long.
“All units of the PN in areas
affected by Super Typhoon Rolly were put on heightened HADR stance and will
continue to assist local government units and national agencies in responding
to the needs of the Filipino people that were adversely affected by this
calamity,” Roxas said.
