Just a good, close look at the Mk 38 Mod 1 25 mm caliber Main Gun of the BRP Juan Magluyan (PC-392), a Jose Andrada class Patrol Boat of the Philippine Navy (PN), during the one Day Refresher Training for it for the Officers and Men of the Ship. 

The Training allowed the Crew to have enhanced familiarity with the Safety Procedures and Protocols, and the Maintenance and Troubleshooting of the Gun. Aside from the Cannon, the BRP Magluyan is also armed with .50 caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) and 7.62 mm caliber Light Machine Guns (LMG)

The Vessel was first commissioned into Service in 1998, so it has served the PN for over two and a half Decades now

August 16, 2024: The BRP Hilario Ruiz of the PN
Just a rare, recent look at the BRP Hilario Ruiz (PC-378) and its Crew. The BRP Ruiz is one of the 22 Vessels that comprise the Jose Andrada-class Patrol Boats of the Philippine Navy (PN), and it belongs to the first Batch of nine Vessels that were not armed with the Mk 38 25 mm caliber Gun like the other Vessels of the Andrada-class. 

It is instead armed with four .50 caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) and two 7.62 mm caliber Light Machine Guns (LMG). The Andrada-class are some of the PN’s older Patrol Boats, they were first commissioned into Service starting in 1990, so they have been around for around two to three Decades now.
