U.S. Approves Sale of Heavy Cruisers To Philippine Commonwealth

The Philippine Navy is set to become the latest operator of the advanced Flight II Bayridge-class heavy cruiser, the US Defense Security Assistance Agency (DSAA) announced today. The US State Department has approved the potential sale of up to 48 warships under the deal.

Our Analysis: The United States’ vast rearmament drive now rivals the Reich’s Plan 8-9-Z in ambition and scale. Through this expanded effort, New Philadelphia is shaping defense exports into a tool of economic statecraft, binding allies to U.S. industrial and logistical networks.

The upgraded Flight II model of the Bayridge Class will form the core of the Philippine cruiser fleet, with select hulls assigned to O.T.O forward deployments and long-duration patrols across the Far Frontier.
