MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Navy has deployed for the first time its enhanced antisubmarine warfare (ASW) capabilities to the West Philippine Sea (WPS), marking a new milestone in its growing combat capabilities. The missile-armed BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151) and AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat helicopter were sent to Palawan province on June 20 — almost two months after the chopper made its maiden landing on the frigate after a series of training exercises, the Western Command (Wescom) said on Tuesday.
