Emilio Jacinto-class corvette
The ''Emilio Jacinto'' class is a ship class of three patrol corvettes currently in service with the Philippine Navy. The ships formerly served in the Royal Navy's Hong Kong Squadron as ''Peacock'' class patrol vessels until 1997.
The three vessels have undergone weapons, electronics, propulsion and hull upgrades in Philippine Navy service, increasing their capabilities as compared to the original ''Peacock'' class vessels.
==History==
Launched as a series of five patrol vessels, the ''Peacock'' class were originally part of the Hong Kong Squadron of the Royal Navy. The ships were built by Hall Russell 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 British naval presence in the region, they could also undertake a number of different roles including seamanship, navigation and gunnery training. In addition, they performed 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 ).〕
Three of these ships - HMS ''Peacock'' (P239), HMS ''Plover'' (P240), and HMS ''Starling'' (P241) - were sold to the Philippines as a sign of goodwill, and were officially turned over to the Philippine Navy on 1 August 1997 when the sovereignty of Hong Kong was transferred from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China.〔
