Just a look at the Bridge and Weapons Consoles of the BRP Herminigildo Yurong (PG-906), a Nestor Acero-class Fast Attack Interdiction Craft – Missile (FAIC-M) of the Philippine Navy (PN) during one of their recent General Quarters (GQ) Drill.
GQ Drills are made to prepare the Crew to handle effectively Real-Life Emergency Situations. The Consoles make it look like the Crew is just playing Video Games, but if so it is actually a deadly and real game because the Consoles are for the Vessel’s single 30 mm caliber Mk 30-c Main Gun, two .50 caliber Mini-Typhoon Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) and Typhoon MLS-NLOS Missile System.
The BRP Yurong is one of the four Ships in the Acero-class that is equipped with Missiles, it is one of the most advanced Vessels of the PN and was commissioned only last May of this Year of 2024. The FAIC-M is based on the Shaldag Mark V Design of the Manufacturer, “Israel Shipyards Limited (Ltd)”.
