WWII Ship Sinks Before U.S.-Philippines Drill | BRP Malvar Goes Down Near Disputed Shoal

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea. #BRPMiguelMalvar #Balikatan #WWIIShip #PhilippineNavy #USPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ScarboroughShoal #ChinaTensions #MilitaryDrills #NavalLegacy #LiveFireExercise #USMilitary #RoughSeas #NavalHistory #Shipwreck #USPhilAlliance #PacificSecurity #OldWarship #ShipSinks #JointExercises #MaritimeSecurity #HistoricalVessel #AsiaPacific #USDefense #PhilippinesNews #SeaPower #Balikatan2025 #USIndoPacific #ChinaDeterrence #NavalForce
