US to Build 2 Navy Repair Facilities in the Philippines Near Second Thomas Shoal to Deter China

Описание: The U.S. decision to help build small-boat repair facilities in Palawan may sound technical, but it carries real strategic weight. By allowing Philippine patrol vessels to fix damage and return to sea much faster, these hubs strengthen Manila’s ability to maintain a steady presence near flashpoints like Second Thomas Shoal. In contested waters where endurance and persistence matter more than dramatic shows of force, better logistics can quietly shift the balance. The move deepens U.S.–Philippine defense cooperation without deploying new combat forces, reinforcing the alliance while avoiding overt escalation. In the South China Sea, power isn’t just about warships — it’s about who can keep operating day after day without being worn down.
