I believe that the Philippines does not need super ships. We do not need destroyers or expensive frigates.
If the Philippines can have 20-30 of these kinds of ships, armed with depth charges (for anti-submarine capability) and with ARM/Sidewinder missiles for anti-air capability as well as Phalanx anti-ship missile defense system, then these ships can be a formidable force.
The Philippines just needs to attach 4-6 missile pods on the back that can launch ship-based anti-ship missiles.
Considering that we are an island nation, we need many of these small ships not those large and slow destroyeres or frigates.
