Philippines Navy’s First OPV Rajah Sulayman Joins Naval Fleet to Deter China

Описание: The arrival of the Philippine Navy’s newest Offshore Patrol Vessel, BRP Rajah Sulayman (PS-20), is an important step for the country’s maritime security and sovereignty at sea. This is not just a new ship joining the fleet. It shows the Philippines’ intent to stay present in the West Philippine Sea as foreign pressure and gray-zone activities continue to increase. As the first of six new Offshore Patrol Vessels, Rajah Sulayman improves long-range patrols, sea awareness, and the protection of the country’s exclusive economic zone. Its escort by the missile-armed BRP Jose Rizal showed that the Navy is learning to operate as one connected force, combining deterrence with daily patrol duties. Named after a Filipino leader who defended the land long before modern navies, the ship links history with today’s defense needs. In a region where being present at sea matters, BRP Rajah Sulayman shows that Philippine sovereignty is protected not by words, but by ships that patrol, protect fishermen, and defend national waters.
