There are conflicting reports of the delivery date of the BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151) Frigate of the Philippine Navy (PN).
News reports from August 2019 like with the Philippine News Agency (PNA) said it was going to be September 2020.
However, the South Korean Press and BRP Luna’s manufacturer itself Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in their Press Release on November 8, 2019 puts it at 2021.
But then again, the local Press and the PN itself on its post dated November 8, 2019 of their official Facebook page puts it as September or October 2020.
I hope that this is cleared up somewhat, I for one am hoping for a 2020 delivery of the ship.
