It is good to hear the Phil. Navy reevaluated their decision to acquire more Hamilton Class Cutters. At present with our meager defense budget this is the only way we could acquire high-endurance and ocean going vessels. Many will say that the Hamilton Class is not worth it because of age and lacking the defensive & offensive punch, but I disagree because of the following points; yes it may be old but not as old as what we have. the vessel may be 45 yrs old but it was well maintained by the USCG and the Hamilton Class where one of the best designed ships ever produced. It may be deficient in its weaponry, but since it is a sturdy and well balanced vessel and we acquired it at a bargain price we could incrementally upgrade its weapon systems avoiding demolishing our defense budget. I fervently believe that these vessels still has a lot of life in them and it will assist us to become a world class navy!...Never again we will be harassed and intimidated by other countries.
