As tensions continue to escalate in the South China Sea between the Philippines and China, the United States has announced that it will finance and construct a base for fast-attack boats on the western coast of Palawan. The base will be able to initial hold and launch at least five fast-attack boats, including both “assault boats” and rigid-hulled inflatable boats, to be constructed by the American-owned company, ReconCraft. The facility, which will also include on-site storage for munition and conference rooms, will provide the Philippines Navy and Coast Guard with an effective launch point for patrols into the South China Sea.
