BRP Sultan Kudarat
BRP Sultan Kudarat (PS-22) was a Miguel Malvar-class corvette of the Philippine Navy. It was originally built as USS PCE-881, a PCE-842-class patrol craft for the United States Navy during World War II. In 1961 it was transferred to South Vietnam for service in the Republic of Vietnam Navy as RVNS Đống Đa II (HQ-07). It was acquired by the Philippine Navy in April 1976, and was commissioned later on as RPS Sultan Kudarat (PS-22). Along with other World War II-era ships of the Philippine Navy, Sultan Kudarat was considered one of the oldest active fighting ships in the world, until its retirement in July 5, 2019.
Commissioned in the US Navy as USS PCE-895 in 1944, she was renamed USS Crestview (PCE-895) on February 15, 1956, named for the City of Crestview, Florida, "in accordance with a recent Navy decision to name its patrol vessels, previously known only by the hull number, by the names of cities of the United States with populations between 2,500 and 10,000".
She was then transferred to the South Vietnam on November 29, 1961. She served the Republic of Vietnam Navy as RVNS Đống Đa II (HQ-07) up until her escape to the Philippines in 1975, together with other South Vietnamese Navy ships and their respective crew.
She was formally acquired by the Philippine Navy on April 5, 1976, and was commissioned into the Philippine Navy on July 27, 1976, and was renamed RPS Sultan Kudarat (PS-22). She was renamed to BRP Sultan Kudarat (PS-22) in June 1980 using a new localized prefix.
Between 1990 and 1991 the Sultan Kudarat underwent major overhaul, weapons and radar systems refit, and upgrade of communications gear.
She was assigned with the Patrol Force, later on the Offshore Patrol Force of the Philippine Fleet. BRP Sultan Kudarat was decommissioned on July 5, 2019.
In October 2022, the Ship along with the BRP Rajah Humabon (PS-11) and BRP Cebu (PS-28) was seen tilted over and submerged at the Naval Station Pascual Ledesma in Cavite after the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae.
There are slight differences between the BRP Sultan Kudarat as compared to some of her sister ships in the Philippine Navy, since her previous configuration was as a patrol craft escort (PCE), while the others are configured as rescue patrol craft escort (PCER) and minesweepers (Admirable class) ships.
