[hulagway]

---

yes but diego silang doesn't belong to the same class as goyo and monching.

i know.my point is..this is not the 1st time we have ship coming from USCG.

[hulagway]

BRP Diego Silang is a Barnegat Class WHEC...

i know. but still a WHEC right? now my point is this is not the 1st time we have a ship coming from USCG..thats all

[hulagway]

If ever we got the Italian ship, i prefer we arm this WHEC with Otomat, mas dali ang maintenance if single system only...
Plus we might be able to arm the Jacinto's with 2 or 4 Otomats... It might be cheaper than buying Harpoons...

for the goyo and ramon possible but for the jacinto's? no i dont think so.

BRP Diego Silang is a Barnegat Class WHEC...

wasn't it converted to a Casco-class USCG cutter? Or was it one of the Barnegats that were not modified.

[hulagway]

and we actually have 4 ex USCG whec.

Francisco Dagohoy (PF-10)

unsay spec comparison ani ug sa Exocet MM38/40? This looks feasible para sa PN.

^ those exocets were deadly during the falkland war.

we should had those but with land base launcher much cheaper no ship needed and within effective range if launch in Zambales.

unsay spec comparison ani ug sa Exocet MM38/40? This looks feasible para sa PN.

Here is a techincal comparison sa Exocet MM40

Otomat
Country: Italy
Alternate Name: Teseo
Class: SLCM
Target: Ship
Length: 4.46 m
Diameter: 0.46 m
Launch Weight: 770.00 kg
Payload: 210 kg HE, SAP (Mk 1/2); 160 kg HE, SAP (Mk 3/NGASM)
Propulsion: Turbojet
Range: 60-180 km
Guidance: INS, datalink, active radar
Status: Operational

Exocet MM-40
Country: France
Class: SLCM
Target: Ship
Length: 5.80 m
Diameter: 0.35 m
Launch Weight: 870.00 kg
Payload: 165 kg HE, fragmentation
Propulsion: Solid

Otomat would require double the space required for exocet missiles... If the Americans armed the Hamiltons with 8 Harpoon, 4 Otomat ra ang mabutang (I dunno if feasible ba ibutang sa midship)
