Just some Pictures of the BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151) Guided Missile Frigate of the Philippine Navy (PN) and its Bridge during a Maritime Cooperation Activity (MCA) with the Military Forces of our official former Colonizer and current De-Facto Colonizer, the United States (US).

The MCA was held off the Coast of Palawan and also involved other Assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines like the BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS-17) Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) and two FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF).

Here is the Link to the Post of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Facebook Page containing the original Pictures: https://web.facebook.com/armedforcesofthephilippines/posts/pfbid02N15csnJEsRxbFek58t4Lf9sakt4GPV3GUjFLbH7kvq1S9HoLEv9xF9tF7n19m2m1l

Just an intriguing look at one of the .50 caliber Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) Mounts on the BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151) Guided Missile Frigate of the Philippine Navy (PN). And of course another Look at the Launch Canisters of the Main Weapon of the Vessel, the C-Star Anti-Ship Missile (AshM).

These Pictures were taken during the visit to the Ship last Month of December 2024 while docked in Zambales of Retired Vice Admiral Jesus C. Millan, the 34th Flag Officer in Command (FOIC) on the PN.

Missilemen onboard the BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) Guided Missile Frigate of the Philippine Navy (PN) warm up and conduct Maintenance Procedures on their Mistral Surface to Air Missiles (SAM) using Test Sets.

The Procedure helps extend each Missile's Service Life, and also helps the Crew be aware on the actual Status of each Missile. Nice BRP Rizal T-Shirts, by the Way. The PN should make it available to the Public, I would buy an official one in a Heartbeat if it were available and there’s one my Size …

The BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) Guided Missile Frigate and its assigned AW159 Wildcat Helicopter of the Philippine Navy (PN) assisted in the Search and Rescue (SAR) Operation of the MT Terra Nova Industrial Fuel Tanker which capsized off the Coast of Bataan recently.

One of the Pictures illustrates why its class of Vessel is the most advanced in the PN as of now, with its many Consoles with Monitor Screens.

Five European Countries, namely France, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia and Hungary, recently signed an Agreement to jointly acquire the Mistral 3 Surface to Air Missile (SAM) System. The Mistral 3 is also being used by the Simbad-RC SAM System onboard the two Jose Rizal class Guided Missile Frigates of the Philippine Navy (PN).

The Mistral 3 uses an Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) Guidance System allowing it to be only aimed initially by the Operator and once it is launched, it will home in by itself towards the Target. It has a Range of up to 8 km, and can maneuver up to 30Gs. Each Jose Rizal Frigate has two Simbad-RC Launchers, and each Launcher has two Missiles that are ready to fire.

Just some nice, new Pictures of the BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151), a Jose Rizal class Guided Missile Frigate of the Philippine Navy (PN) as it conducted a Training for its Crew for its Naval Shield Combat Management System (CMS).

Among those shown in the Pictures were the C-Star Anti-Ship Missile Launchers, Simbad-RC Surface to Air Missile (SAM) System and one of the Large Screen Monitors being used on the Ship

The BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) Guided Missile Frigate made History recently when it became the very first ever Vessel of the Philippine Navy (PN) fire a Purpose-built Anti-Ship Missile, which in this Case was the C-Star Missile
