SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—The Navy’s first missile-capable warship was formally commissioned here on Friday, three weeks after the ceremony was postponed due to the pandemic.

The P8-billion BRP Jose Rizal (FF150) was christened at the Alava Wharf inside this free port.

The ship is the first of two 2,600-ton multimission frigates ordered by the government.
