The frigate will be named BRP Antonio Luna (FF151) once it is commissioned to the service. “Frigate Antonio Luna will complete the PN Frigate Acquisition Project that fulfills the PN’s thrust of having modern platforms and systems that provide opportunities for its personnel to develop modern mindsets and propel the whole organization into becoming a multi-capable naval force responsive to our maritime nation’s defense and development,” the Philippine Navy said in a statement. The vessel will sail to Manila Bay for a formation along with the BRP Jose Rizal (FF150), the country’s first warship, before proceeding to its anchorage area in Subic, Zambales, where its crew will undergo mandatory quarantine period.
