Day In the Life of USCGC Dallas

Check the Timawa forums sir.

the unit is free but the refurbishment and training of the crews are not plus the refitting and upgrading of other equipment. Yes sir get your info right :D

boooooring.

Doug the ships aren't free. They were paid for. The Phalanx was not included in the package, because the Philippines is not a licensed operator of the Phalanx systems. And those Phalanx CIWS will be used on the other USCG WHECs too.

check you info. the two Whecs were purchased using funds from Malampaya earnings, approx. $13-14 million each.

Thank you US for the USCGS Dallas and Hamilton. From The Philippines.

The USCGS Dallas (plus maybe the 76mm naval gun) were for free but the Phlanx is not. If the PN wanted the Phlanx, it needed to buy it. I read that the Cyclone class patrol ship which the US Navy gave to us had Stinger missiles but since we couldn't buy the missiles, we couldn't keep the Stingers.

welcome to the philippines! :D

ONE CHINESE DISLIKE THIS VIDEO =]

What's with this dramatic music? I love that boat but I would expect somthing closer to the theme song from Sanford and Son.

I wish the US won't remove these armaments when the ship is transfer to the Philippines, especially the Phalanx

it will be transfered to us,.thats why..

She got sold to the Philippine Navy

Yeah, 40 years old. My brother is a, "Plank Owner" a member of her first crew. I served on WWII era ships and thought they were old and they were about 25 years in service when the Dallas and her class were coming into the system. The Dallas had a long and honorable career and served her crews well.

Why was it decommissioned? Was it getting too old?
