Hmmm. I wonder if these are the vessels my PN friend said were matakaw sa fuel. Still, it would be nice if our R&D team can remedy that problem para naman mas maging useful ito for us if such were so - yun comment na matakaw sa fuel.

i think it was the 800 # series sea killer patrol boats that were fuel hogs. these were the smaller korean-donated boats(smaller than the PKMs). even the bigger PKMs are fuel hogs but they are more popular because it has better habitability, and better armed.

Fast Attack Craft Missile Class La Combattante III refers to four ships ordered by Greece in September 1974 from France. There are similar to the Fast Attack Craft Missile Class La Combattante IIa, but are bigger and armed with torpedoes. A second group of six were ordered in 1978 , but were built in Greece and use Penguin Mk 2 Mod 3 missiles.
