The Philippine Navy in
its pursuit to have its own submarine fleet has said agreements with the
country’s strategic partners will be signed with respect to rescue and
assistance once construction of the PN’s firs-ever submarines is underway.
“It is planned that as
soon as the Philippine submarines are being constructed, agreements will be
negotiated with countries which have the capability for submarine rescue,” said
PN chief, Vice Adm. Giovanni Carlo Bacordo.
The PN added that
these agreements are not new as most submarine operating countries do not have
a “distinct and independent rescue capability but rely on their strategic
partners for assistance during distress”.

“The ‘submarine
community’ composed of different nations have a strong bond, mutual respect,
and common understanding to help each other in times of crisis,” he said.
While its ideal to have a submarine rescue
capability, financial constraints limits the capability of the Armed Forces of
the Philippines (AFP) as an organization.
“Submarine rescue
capability is not yet included in the submarine warfare capability development
of the PN,” he added.
It was explained that
the PN having its own diesel-electric submarines in its inventory will allow the
AFP to achieve a credible defense posture.
“We have desired force
mix of submarines, frigates, corvettes, OPVs (offshore patrol vessels), LDs
(landing docks), FAIC-Ms (fast attack interdiction craft-missiles), MPACs
(multi-purpose attack craft), AAVs (amphibious assault vehicles) etc. This is
embodied in our Naval Operating Concept submitted to HHQ (higher headquarters)
in 2020,” he added.
Importance of
Submarines in the country
A submarine warfare
capability will better equip the PN to fulfill its primary update on
territorial defense, security and stability.
“Submarines will
enhance our maritime defense capability and can effectively carry out
anti-access/area denial, maritime surveillance, maritime interdiction, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance. The submarine is the most effective ISR
(intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) platform and the best killing
machine in the Navy inventory,” he added.
“Submarines are
undetectable and could be anywhere patrolling around the WPS (West Philippine
Sea) to act firmly if necessary. Having an operational submarine at-sea will be
a game-changer for the PN. Contenders will have to take into consideration the
probability of facing a submarine at anytime, anywhere, without any warning,
hence will affect their entire assessment of the tactical situation and their
behavior,” he further explain.
These submarines will
be equipped with a large number of weapons.
“It can infiltrate an
enemy task force to hunt aircraft carriers and landing docks, and provide
decisive superiority with a single lethal hit,” he added.
