Jose Rizal Class
The Jose Rizal class of multi-role guided missile frigates, currently in service with the Philippine Navy, are a heavily modified variant of the Republic of Korea Navy’s Incheon-class frigates. The ships, which were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), are specifically accommodated to fit the requirements of the Philippine Navy. The introduction of the frigates improved the capabilities of the Philippine Navy’s Offshore Combat Force, which mostly composed of ships that were retired from other countries and subsequently transferred to the Philippines.
