Philippine Navy Upgrade | Japan Ship Transfer | Maritime Strength Boost
#PhilippineNavy #DefenseCooperation

The Philippine Navy is moving ahead with plans to acquire three Abukuma-class destroyers from Japan, part of Tokyo’s fleet scheduled for decommissioning.

The acquisition aims to bolster the Philippines’ maritime defense and strengthen regional security amid rising tensions in the South China Sea.

While initially considering more vessels, Manila is expected to finalize the purchase of only three ships, balancing operational needs with budget constraints.

This move also reflects Japan’s growing role in supporting allied naval modernization and defense partnerships across Asia.
