The Philippine Navy (PN) announced that it will be conducting a christening ceremony for the two newly delivered fast attack interdiction craft-missile (FAIC-Ms) on May 8.
In an advisory to reporters Thursday, Navy spokesperson Capt. Benjo Negranza said the event will be held at Naval Station Pascual Ledesma, Fort San Felipe, Cavite City at 9 a.m.
These FAIC-Ms will be christened BRP Gener Tinangag (PG-903) and BRP Domingo Deluana (PG-905).
These FAIC-Ms will soon join the Acero-class patrol gunboats along with frontrunners BRP Nestor Acero (PG-901) and BRP Lolinato To-ong (PG-902) which were commissioned last November.
The 32-meter long FAIC-Ms are high-speed vessels equipped with quick intercept ability, remote stabilized weapons, and short-range missiles that are capable of delivering precision strikes against larger hostiles and high-value targets on land and sea.
