Pearl Harbor, Hawaii – The two (2) naval vessels of the Philippine Navy (PN) to the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2018 exercise conduct an “Open Ship” on July 07, 2018 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
BRP Davao Del Sur (LD602) and BRP Andres Bonifacio (FF17), along with other ships involved in the RIMPAC held a one-day guided shipboard tour that are open to the public.
Around 3,000 military and civilians experienced the “Filipino Hospitality” during the tour. Aside from orientation of the ship’s capability, the open ship was highlighted by the cultural performance from the students of Naval Officers Basic Course (NOBC) aboard LD602 and live band performance from the PN Seabees Band aboard FF17.
RIMPAC 2018 will run until Aug. 2, 2018. This is the first time that the Philippine Navy sends a contingent to participate in the world’s largest maritime international exercise. It further enhances its national pride in sending not just one but two naval vessels. The PN contingent is led by Capt. Ernesto O. Baldovino PN(GSC), Commander of Naval Task Force 86 RIMPAC.
The Philippine Navy’s participation to RIMPAC 2018 trumpets the Command’s commitment in promoting multilateral cooperation to strengthen relationship and cooperation among participating navies of the world.
