Aboard BRP TARLAC (LD 601), the largest vessel in the Philippine Navy Fleet
Naval News takes you on a tour aboard Philippine Navy LPD BRP TARLAC (LD 601), with the Commanding Officer Captain Fredie C Parpan. Tarlac is the largest vessel in the Philippine Navy fleet. This video was recorded in September 2024 during Naval News' visit to Naval Operating Base Subic.
=====================
BRP Tarlac was built by Indonesian shipyard PT PAL in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was launched on 17 January 2016 and commissioned into service with the Philippine Navy on June 1, 2016. The 7,200-ton landing platform dock (LPD) is a far cry from the Second World War-era landing ship tanks and donated Australian and American landing craft utilized by the service’s Sealift Amphibious Force.
