BRP Artemio Ricarte (PS-37)
The BRP ''Artemio Ricarte'' (PS-37) is one of the three ''Jacinto'' class of corvettes, and are considered as one of the most modern ships in the Philippine Navy. She was originally called HMS ''Starling'' (P241) during her service with the Royal Navy. She is currently assigned with the Patrol Force of the Philippine Fleet.
==History==
Launched as the third of five patrol vessels of the ''Peacock'' class, she was originally part of the Hong Kong Squadron of the Royal Navy. The ships were built by Hall, Russell & Company in the United Kingdom and were commissioned into Royal Navy service from 1983 to 1984. The class was designed specifically for patrol duties in Hong Kong waters. As well as ‘flying the flag’ and providing a constant naval presence in region, they could undertake a number of different roles including Seamanship, Navigation and Gunnery training and Search-and-Rescue duties for which they had facilities to carry divers (including a decompression chamber) and equipment to recover vessels and aircraft. They also worked with the Marine Department of the Hong Kong Police and with Customs & Excise in order to prevent the constant flow of illegal immigrants, narcotics and electronic equipment into the Colony.〔''Royal Navy Postwar. (Peacock Class Offshore Patrol Vessels ).〕
Out of the five ships in its class, three of them, HMS ''Peacock'' (P239), HMS ''Plover'' (P240), and HMS ''Starling'' (P241), were left in Hong Kong until 1997. They were sold to the Philippines as a sign of goodwill, and were officially turned over to the Philippine Navy on 1 August 1997 when Hong Kong was ceded back to China.〔
