The Philippine government headed by President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino Jr. has acquired a warship named after a Filipino hero, the BRP Gregorio del Pilar. It was initially docked in the South Harbor after sailing for 33-days at sea from the United States to the Philippines. This is the Philippines' first Hamilton class cutter warship ever acquired. The machines were refurbished and overhauled as well as it officially took the place of Raja Humabon, a Cannon-class destroyer escort.
