MANILA, (PNA) -- The Philippine Navy (PN) on Wednesday announced that the additional weaponry and electronic systems are now being installed at BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF-16) which is now on its dry-docking period.
"BRP Ramon Alcaraz is presently being installed with additional weapons, armaments and electronic systems," Navy spokesperson Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic said.
But for reasons of "operational security", he declined to identify these weapons and electronic systems.
"For operational security reasons, I cannot divulge (the exact type) of weapons and electronic systems which are now being installed," he added.
Earlier reports said that the BRP Ramon Alcaraz will be fitted with two Mark 38 Model 2 25mm "Bushmasters" autocannon and four to six light machine guns will be fitted during the dry-docking period.
The ship went into dry-dock last Aug. 16.
It arrived in the Philippines last Aug. 6 after a two month voyage from the United States.
The Filipino frigate is presently armed with a quick-firing 76mm Oto Melara main gun which has a range of 20 nautical miles.
