We're modernizing our fleet by buying a 45 year old ship? why dont we buy newer ships?
ReplyDeleteYES I AGREE TO MAPSTER why we don't buy or made our own new ship.. we have a a shipyard in cavite and balamban cebu.And we are one of the best ship builder in the world and the cheapest laborers. That's why japanese and singaporean companies are building their ship in our shipyards.So why we need to buy an old one.....Q who much is their commission in buying that ship...The maker of this site is just day dreaming....WAKE UP MY FRIEND AND FACE THE REALITY so that we can plan for the future of our armed forces..we are the weakest in southeast Asia. Accept the fact. How much money that this armed forces corrupted MILLIONS my friend. The controvercy in on.....We should made our own we should not buy those JUNKS from the US.
ReplyDeletewe can't afford to buy a brand new ship for our navy's modernization. Even we have ship building facility here in our country but all of then are owned by private foreign investor such as Japanese,Singaporean and Korean shipbuilding and they cant give it to our navy for free.I think its better to have a old naval ship for a cheaper cost rather than a raha humabon, one bullet of piston could sink.
ReplyDeletei think the navy would spent years to buy a modern ship.....why did navy want to buy warship from other countries,if there are many shipbuilders in our country.this would provide jobs to our fellow countrymens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
