About this video
Japan’s unprecedented proposal, to transfer six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippine Navy, could greatly boost the Southeast Asian nation’s anti-submarine capabilities. The Philippines has confirmed the proposal and dispatched a team to Japan for a visual inspection of the six warships, which were set to be decommissioned, following an official invitation from Japan’s Ministry of Defense.
Tokyo’s view of the Philippines as an increasingly strategic partner, not only in political and economic terms, but also within emerging regional security frameworks, designed to uphold maritime stability, such as so-called Mini laterals.
The six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts are comparable in length to the Philippine Navy’s two modern frigates, BRP Jose Rizal and BRP Antonio Luna, both of which are equipped for anti-submarine warfare – as is the smaller BRP Conrado Yap.
