Program: Ex-USN LSTs built in 1944-45; LT 86 (ex
LT 975), of the LST 511 class, served as transport in the
Philippines until decommissioned in Subic, 16 April 1946.
Served as transport during the Korean war with the MSTS
with a Japanese civilian crew. Renamed Marion County in 1
July 1955, decommissioned the next day, she received six
battle stars for her Korean tour. Transferred to South
Vietnam on 12 April 1962, escaped to the Philippines and
officially transferred as a grant aid to the PN in 17
November 1975. LT 501 (ex LST 230), of the LST-1 class,
first commissioned in 3 November 1943, she was assigned
to the European theater and participated in the Normandy
invasion, she also performed occupation duties in the Far
East, earning her two battle stars for WW II service. She
was transferred to the PN in 13 September 1976. LT 504 (ex
LST 566), of the LST-542 class, first commissioned in 29
May 1944, she was assigned to the European and Asia-Pacific
theaters but saw no combat action. Transferred to the
MSTS in 31 March 1952. She was transferred to the PN in
13 September 1976, she was reportedly sunk in 2004. LT
507 (ex LST 692), of the LST 511 class, first
commissioned in 10 May 1944, served in the European
theater, renamed Daviess County in 1 July 1955 and
reassigned to the MSTS, served in Korea earning her two
battle stars, transferred to the PN in 13 September 1976.
LT 516 (ex LST 786), of the LST 542 class, served as
transport between Okinawa and the Philippines,
decommissioned on 9 July 1946, renamed Garrett County in
1 July 1955, redesignated Patrol Craft Tender (AGP) and
spent time with the Pacific fleet in Vietnam, where she
served as a HAL-3's helicopter platform. She received one
battle star for WW II service and eight campaign stars
for Vietnam, eventually transferred to South Vietnam in
23 April 1971 and used as light craft repair ships but
have retains amphibious capability and transferred to the
Philippines in 1976 by purchase. Sixteen other units were
decommissioned/ delisted in the late 80's to early 90's.
Officially listed as transports, probably see service as
coastal logistics ships. Also have been used as patrol
ships and have operated helicopters.
Structure: Some of the later ships have
tripod masts, others have pole masts. LTs 507 and 516,
were modified to carry two helicopters amidships each,
and were the platform for PAF UH-1Hs during the 1995
Spratlys crisis. LT 516 was converted in mid 60's to
serve as a smallcraft tender, she retained operational
bow doors, but much of the cargo deck is filled with
repair shops and bins for spares.
Modernization: Several have undergone
major refits including replacement of frames and plating
as well as engine and electronics overhauls and
provisions for four 20 mm guns.
Operational: Many of these ships served
as cargo ships in the Western Pacific under the US
Military Sealift Command (USNS/T-LST); they were civilian
manned by Korean and Japanese crews. The USNS ships
lacked troop accommodation and other amphibious warfare
features. Some are used for general cargo work in
Philippine service but in spite of the major deletion in
1989. All naval service are in urgent need of refit and
the first three were taken in hand in 1989.
*Note: LT 57 served as a logistics ship, now
permanently parked and strickened near Ayugin Reef in the
Spratlys, to maintain PN presence there. LT 504 and 516
reportedly decommissioned.

Program: Originally this class was
ordered for the Australian Army, but only Balikpapan saw
Army service until being commissioned into the RAN on 27
Sept 1974. The remaining 7 were built for the Navy. Two
were transferred to Papua New Guinea in 1975. All
remaining vessels paid off in 2010.
Structure: LCHs are an extremely
versatile vessel, capable of moving large amounts of
cargo, personnel and equipment from larger ships to shore.
A very shallow draft (2 m) allows these ships to deliver
personnel and equipment to areas otherwise unreachable
especially during humanitarian assistance and disaster
relief operations (HADR). It is an all-welded twin-screw
vessel, able to trans-ship cargo and supplies from ships
lying offshore to water terminals or across the beach.
Maximum cargo load is governed by the load-fuel balance
and varies between 140 and 180 tons. A typical load of
175 ton gives the LCHs a range of 1,300 nautical miles,
increasing to 2,280 nautical miles for a load of 150 tons.
Up to five shipping containers with HADR supplies and
equipment can also be embarked. All ships of the class
were given life extension refits in 2000-2002. L 127 and
L 129 are to be fitted with new safety and navigation
equipment, and were donated to the PN in 2015. L 130, 133
and 126 were sold to the PN at friendship price of Php
270 million and were commissioned in service June 2016.

using the vessel's bow and stern ramps. It is valuable in
LOTS operations and intratheater transport using harbor
and IWW routes. The LCU-1600 is not capable of self-deployment
over open oceans. It is deployed aboard vessels such as

cargo well and bow ramp. The design of the boat permits
its transportation aboard larger vessels. It has a deck
area of 620 square feet, fuel capacity of 768 gallons.
LCM-8 are manned by a four man crew and built of welded
steel, it's bottom, however, is semiflat. It has a deck
area of 620 square feet. It is designed to transport
cargo, troops, and vehicles from ship to shore or in
retrograde and can be used in rough or exposed waters and
can be operated through breakers and grounded on the
beach. The bow ramp allows RORO operations with wheeled
and tracked vehicles. Its small size allows for use in
confined areas. LCM 260 sank in a typhoon in 13 Nov 1990
but was restored to service.

Program: Built in 1959 by Japan for $3 million
as war reparations. Originally used as a presidential
yacht/command ship with accommodation for 50 passengers.
Originally named Lapu-Lapu after the chief who killed
Magellan; renamed Roxas on 9 October 1962 after the first
president of the republic, Manuel Roxas; renamed The
President in 1967 and Ang Pangulo in 1975. Equipped with
one 15 ton crane. Reclassified as a troop transport after
the Marcos-era, a role for which she is totally unsuited.
Reconsidered to be a yacht during the Estrada-era, was
restored to it's prime using controversial Php 100
million private donations. Auctioned of for $5.5 million
by the Arroyo administration, but there were no takers.
Planned to be refitted as a floating hospital, which she
is unsuited for. She recently caught fire in January 2006
at the Keppel Dry Dock in Barangay San Miguel, Bauan,
Batangas, where she is undergoing repair since November
2005. The fire damaged the yacht’s airconditioning
units, water pipes, electrical wiring, dust catcher room,
skylight openings and sight glasses for reserve tanks and
pressure gauges. The main hull was built out of steel.
The motor yacht superstructure is made predominantly from
steel.

Institution of Oceanography (University of California San
Diego) for the Office of Naval Research, under technical
control of the Oceonographer of the Navy. Fitted with
internal wells for lowering equipment, underwater lights
and observation ports. Facilities for handling small
research submersibles. Problems with the propulsion
systems have led to major modifications including
electric drive (vice the original mechanical) and the
insertion of a 34' central section increasing the
displacement from the original 1,915 tons and allowing
better accomodation and improved laboratory spaces, which
was done in 1992 under a SLEP. The forward propeller is
retractable. This ship is highly maneuverable for precise
position keeping. Retired 21 Feb 2015 and transferred to
the PN on 29 April 2016.

Dimensions: 87.8 m x ?? m x ?? m (288' x ?? x ??)
Complement:
Lifting capacity, maximum: 1,900 T
Builders: VP Loftis, Wilmington, NC
Year(First Commissioned/Commissioned in PN): 1944/
1969
Program: Floating steel, non-self propelled dry-docks
built in the USA. YD 205 is from the and was transferred
to the PN in September 1969. A floating dry dock is a
piece of marine equipment that can be submerged under a
marine vessel and then raised to lift the vessel out of
the water for repairs or maintenance. One of the most
important service units of the PN, the dry-docks allows
the PN to maintain its own ships at lower costs that in
commercial dry-docks, like Keppel SY. It can accommodate
most of the PN warships.
