Just some Pics of the BRP Hilario Ruiz (PC-378), a Jose Andrada-class Patrol Craft of the Philippine Navy (PN) as it conducted repainting Activities of its Deck and Hull to maintain a Uniform Appearance and to distinguish it from Civilian Vessels.
The BRP Ruiz was first commissioned into Service back in 1995, so it has been in Service with the PN for almost three Decades now. It is armed with four .50 caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) and two 7.62 mm caliber Light Machine Guns (LMG) only as it is part of the first Batch of the Andrada-class Vessels that were not equipped with the Mk 38 25 mm caliber Gun.
