The '''''Tarlac'' class''' are [[amphibious transport dock|landing platform docks]] of the [[Philippine Navy]] meant for [[Amphibious warfare|amphibious operations]] and transport duties in support of the [[Armed Forces of the Philippines]]. The class was initially called the "[[Sealift|Strategic Sealift Vessel]]" before being formally named. The ships will also double as a support platform for [[Humanitarian aid|Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (HADR)]] and [[Search and rescue|Search & Rescue (SAR)]] operations.

Two ships were constructed by the [[PT PAL Indonesia]] based on the [[Indonesian Navy]]'s {{sclass|Makassar|landing platform dock|4}}.<ref name=Janes1>{{cite web |url=http://www.janes.com/article/40861/indonesia-s-pt-pal-signs-contract-to-supply-strategic-sealift-vessels-to-the-philippines |title=Indonesia's PT PAL signs contract to supply strategic sealift vessels to the Philippines |publisher=IHS Jane's |date=16 July 2014 |access-date=28 January 2015 |archive-date=28 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128132248/http://www.janes.com/article/40861/indonesia-s-pt-pal-signs-contract-to-supply-strategic-sealift-vessels-to-the-philippines |url-status=live }}</ref> Construction of the first unit already started in January 2015 and was delivered in July 2016, while the second unit started a few months after and delivered by 2017 after going through sea trials.<ref name=Janes2>{{cite web |url=http://www.janes.com/article/48311/pt-pal-cuts-steel-on-first-philippine-navy-sealift-vessel |title=PT PAL cuts steel on first Philippine Navy sealift vessel |publisher=IHS Jane's |date=26 January 2015 |access-date=28 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128164253/http://www.janes.com/article/48311/pt-pal-cuts-steel-on-first-philippine-navy-sealift-vessel |archive-date=28 January 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The lead ship was launched on 17 January 2016<ref>{{Cite news|title = First of 2 new vessels for PH Navy to be launched in Indonesia|url = http://globalnation.inquirer.net/135148/first-of-2-new-vessels-for-ph-navy-to-be-launched-in-indonesia|work = Philippine Daily Inquirer|access-date = 19 January 2016|archive-date = 19 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160119000025/http://globalnation.inquirer.net/135148/first-of-2-new-vessels-for-ph-navy-to-be-launched-in-indonesia|url-status = live}}</ref> as {{ship|BRP|Tarlac|LD-601|6}}.<ref>{{Cite news|title = LOOK: PH Navy's first strategic sealift vessel|url = http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/756615/look-ph-navys-first-strategic-sealift-vessel|work = Philippine Daily Inquirer|access-date = 19 January 2016|archive-date = 20 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160120211620/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/756615/look-ph-navys-first-strategic-sealift-vessel|url-status = live}}</ref> The second ship was delivered on 10 May 2017 and named as [[BRP Davao del Sur (LD-602)|BRP ''Davao del Sur'']].<ref>{{Cite web |title = State ship builder PT PAL sends second warship ordered by Philippines |url = http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/05/02/state-ship-builder-pt-pal-sends-second-warship-ordered-by-philippines.html |publisher = thejakartapost.com |access-date = 11 May 2017 |archive-date = 6 May 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170506010920/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/05/02/state-ship-builder-pt-pal-sends-second-warship-ordered-by-philippines.html |url-status = live }}</ref>

The Philippine Navy has reported in June 2022 that a future version of the Tarlac-class was ordered.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://globalnation.inquirer.net/204434/navy-buying-more-new-ships | title=Navy buying more new ships | date=10 June 2022 }}</ref>

==History==
The original strategic [[sealift]] vessel project was based on a proposal to acquire a converted [[Ro-Ro]] (Roll On – Roll Off) vessel from Japan as recommended by the Center of Naval Leadership & Excellence in 2009. Purchase and technical assistance was to be provided by the DBP Maritime Leasing Corporation Inc. (DMLC).<ref>''Navy Journal Yearend Edition 2009'', page 14. Navy Public Affairs Office, Headquarters – Philippine Navy, 2009</ref> It was one of the priority items in the wish list for purchase between 2012 and 2016 presented by the armed forces to the House of Representatives' committee on national defense and security on 26 January 2011. But this project did not push through due to delays in budget allocation and with the ship being offered and sold to another buyer.<ref name=PDR>{{cite web |url=https://www.phdefresource.com/2020/02/strategic-sealift-vessel-acquisition.html |title=Strategic Sealift Vessel Acquisition Project of the Philippine Navy |work=Philippine Defense Resource |date=2020-02-08 |access-date=2023-08-23}}</ref>

Initially a separate project from the Strategic Sealift Vessel, the [[Department of National Defense (Philippines)|Department of National Defense]] (DND) was rushing the acquisition of one or two multi-role vessels (MRV) for the [[Philippine Navy]] through government-to-government contract at a cost of 5 to 10&nbsp;billion pesos. Initially the reported source of the said ships is either [[South Korea]] or [[Singapore]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=575688&publicationSubCategoryId=63 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120906231751/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=575688&publicationSubCategoryId=63 |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 September 2012 |title=DND rushing acquisition of Navy vessels |work=The Philippine Star|date=16 May 2010 |access-date=31 May 2010 }}</ref> Previous statements and news reports indicate that the multi-role vessels are comparable to landing platform docks operated by foreign navies like the Singaporean {{sclass|Endurance|landing platform dock ship|4}} or the Spanish {{sclass|Galicia|landing platform dock|4}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=4235 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120918154155/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=4235 |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 September 2012 |title=Navy eyes own hospital ship |work=The Philippine Star|date=4 June 2007 |access-date=31 May 2010 }}</ref> It was later confirmed that the ship would be from South Korea<ref>{{cite web |url=http://navytoday.blogspot.com/2010/09/defense-contract-review-for-multi-role.html |title=Defense contract review for multi-role vehicle purchase done in 1 month |publisher=Philippine Navy in the News |date=21 September 2010 |access-date=21 October 2010 |archive-date=8 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708054442/http://navytoday.blogspot.com/2010/09/defense-contract-review-for-multi-role.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and is a variant of the Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) [[Makassar-class landing platform dock|''Makassar''-class LPD]], and is packaged with four units [[Samsung Techwin]] [[Assault Amphibious Vehicle|KAAV-7 amphibious assault vehicles]] (AAV), two units Daesun {{convert|23|m|adj=on|sp=us}} [[landing craft utility]] LCU-23, four units of {{convert|9.8|m|ft|adj=on|sp=us}} [[rigid-hulled inflatable boat]]s, one unit truck-based mobile hospital, two units Kia KM-250 2{{fraction|1|2}}-ton troop trucks, two units Kia KM-450 1{{fraction|1|4}}-ton troop trucks, two units Kia KM-450 ambulances, two units Kia Retona {{fraction|1|4}}-ton utility vehicles, and one unit forklift/cargo handling equipment.

In May 2011, reports surfaced on the possible acquisition of three landing platform docks from [[Indonesia]]n shipbuilder PT PAL. This would be of indigenous design and will have no resemblance to the previously constructed model for the [[Indonesian Navy]], the ''Makassar'' class, which was of South Korean origin.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dhick|first=Mowby|title=WAR SHIP KASAL Review INDONESIA PHILIPPINES|url=http://www.dephan.go.id/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9647|access-date=15 May 2011|newspaper=Komenteryan Pertahan Ri Indonesian Ministry of Defense|date=15 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720192336/http://www.dephan.go.id/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9647|archive-date=20 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> This would represent another option as South Korea has been reportedly pushing for the sale of at least one platform based on the Indonesian Navy ''Makassar'' class. As of December 2011, the Philippine Navy was cleared to start negotiations for the ship/s from any friendly nations with a budget of Php 5&nbsp;billion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideNation.htm?f=2011/december/5/nation3.isx&d=2011/december/5# |title=Navy revives plan to buy P5-b ship |work=Manila Standard Today |date=5 December 2011 |access-date=11 December 2011 |archive-date=15 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111215082545/http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideNation.htm?f=2011%2Fdecember%2F5%2Fnation3.isx&d=2011%2Fdecember%2F5 |url-status=live }}</ref>

With the cancellation of the original SSV project, the two projects were combined as the strategic sealift vessel, based on the original multi-role vessel parameters and requirements. Based on the "Philippine Fleet Desired Force Mix" strategy concept publicly released in May 2012, the Philippine Navy requires at least four strategic sealift vessels to be available by 2020.<ref name=500B>{{cite news |url=http://www.philstar.com/nation/article.aspx?publicationSubCategoryId=200&articleId=810288 |title=Philippine Navy needs P500B to upgrade war capability |work=The Philippine Star|date=24 May 2012 |access-date=10 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140310225541/http://www.philstar.com/nation/article.aspx?publicationSubCategoryId=200&articleId=810288 |archive-date=10 March 2014 }}</ref><ref name=PDR/>

On 24 May 2013, the DND announced the proposed acquisition of two service support vessels (SSVs) worth P2&nbsp;billion each, describing the ships as vessels smaller than the original MRV requirement but still capable of moving a battalion of troops with their armored vehicle complement, and equipped with helipad and a platform for search and rescue operations which could be fitted with hospital facilities.<ref name="ssv2013">{{cite news |url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/05/25/946102/dnd-procure-2-naval-vessels |title=DND to procure 2 naval vessels |author=Laude, Jaime |work=The Philippine Star |date=25 May 2013 |access-date=25 May 2013 |archive-date=8 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608005119/http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/05/25/946102/dnd-procure-2-naval-vessels |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|work=The Philippine Star|url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/06/23/957075/dnd-bidding-2-navy-vessels-still-open|title=DND Bidding for 2 Navy Vessels Still Open|date=24 June 2013|access-date=22 October 2016|archive-date=29 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229110623/http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/06/23/957075/dnd-bidding-2-navy-vessels-still-open|url-status=live}}</ref> On 29 August 2013, the DND declared PT PAL of Indonesia as the winner of the two SSVs and considered as the "lone eligible bidder" with a bid price of Php 3,963,999,520.00.

==Design==
The design is closely based on the ''Makassar'' class of Landing Platform Dock used by the Indonesian Navy, which in turn were actually based on a low-cost LPD design from Korean shipbuilder [[Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering]] / Daesun Shipyard.

===Communication equipment===
The communication equipment is supplied by the Portuguese company [[EID, S.A.|EID]] Naval Communications, specifically the ICCS5 communications control system, and Harris RF Communications VLF-HF and V/UHF radios.<ref name=EID>{{cite web |url=http://www.janes.com/article/51406/portugal-s-eid-to-supply-communications-systems-for-philippine-sealift-ships |title=Portugal's EID to supply communications systems for Philippine sealift ships |publisher=IHS Jane's 360 |date=12 May 2015 |access-date=6 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518231629/http://www.janes.com/article/51406/portugal-s-eid-to-supply-communications-systems-for-philippine-sealift-ships |archive-date=18 May 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Propulsion===
The ships have a [[Combined Diesel and Diesel]] (CODAD) layout and will be using similar engines as those used by their Indonesian counterparts, the MAN 9L28/32A medium speed engines. Combined power from the two engines will produce {{convert|7,830|bhp|lk=in}} transferred to two controllable pitch propellers.<ref name=Maxdefense>{{cite web |url=http://maxdefense.blogspot.sg/2013/08/finally-clearer-picture-on-philippine.html |title=A clearer picture on the Strategic Sealift Vessel of the Philippine Navy |access-date=28 January 2015 |date=28 August 2013 |publisher=MaxDefense |archive-date=26 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160126111107/http://maxdefense.blogspot.sg/2013/08/finally-clearer-picture-on-philippine.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=PDR/><ref name=PTPALSSV>{{cite web|url=https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xiY6Mo7njeI/Vy8h1jSjWlI/AAAAAAAArjM/q970ai99TNQd2UZO1Y9DaxYNu9wT3xMWgCLcB/s1600/ssv-3.jpg|format=JPG|title=Photographic image of Strategic Sealift Vessel statistics|website=4.bp.blogspot.com|access-date=10 November 2021}}</ref>

===Armaments===
PT PAL confirmed that the SSVs will be designed to support one {{convert|76|mm|in|sp=us|adj=on}} (3&nbsp;in) main gun on the foredeck. Two stern-facing {{cvt|25|mm|in}} secondary guns will also be fitted, one each on the port and starboard sides.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.janes.com/article/53644/pt-pal-outlines-weapons-fit-for-philippine-navy-ssvs |title=PT PAL outlines weapons fit for Philippine Navy SSVs |author=Ridzwan Rahmat |date=13 July 2015 |access-date=2 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208082229/http://www.janes.com/article/53644/pt-pal-outlines-weapons-fit-for-philippine-navy-ssvs |archive-date=8 December 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=PDR/> The weapons systems are supposed to be installed separately by the Philippine Navy after delivery. As of 25 October 2019, both vessels are only armed with six manually operated .50-caliber machine guns.

===Flight support===
Originally, the ships were designed to accommodate two medium-sized (10-ton) helicopters on the hangar as well as the flight deck, with the specifications emphasizing the US-made [[Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk|Sikorsky Black Hawk]] helicopter as basis. But changes in the Philippine Navy's requirement later on changed the design to have a hangar for one medium (10-ton) helicopter and a flight deck for two medium (10-ton) helicopters.<ref name=PDR/>

==Construction==
SSV-1 officially started its construction on 22 January 2015 where a first steel cutting ceremony was held in PT PAL's facility in Surabaya, Indonesia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kelanakota.suarasurabaya.net/news/2015/146355-PT-PAL-Mulai-Garap-Kapal-Perang-untuk-Filiphina |title=PT PAL Mulai Garap Kapal Perang untuk Filiphina |publisher=Suarasurbaya.net |date=22 January 2015 |access-date=6 June 2015 |archive-date=11 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180911044551/http://kelanakota.suarasurabaya.net/news/2015/146355-PT-PAL-Mulai-Garap-Kapal-Perang-untuk-Filiphina |url-status=live }}</ref> It had entered keel laying works as of 5 June 2015, and was launched as {{ship|BRP|Tarlac|LD-601}} on 18 January 2016.
