''Bacolod City''-class logistics support vessel

Main article: Bacolod City-class logistics support vessel

The Bacolod City-class is the Philippine Navy's main amphibious operation platform prior to the delivery of the Tarlac-class LPD. The two ships were acquired through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. A contract for two ships was announced by Trinity Marine on 3 April 1992, with an option for a third ship which was not taken up. The design was based on a modified version of the US Army's General Frank S. Besson-class LSV, but without accommodation for 150 troops using the space originally for the stern ramp, and the addition of a small helicopter deck. The ship is used in a similar fashion as a Landing Ship-Tank, able to land troops and equipment directly to the beach.

''LST-1''/''LST-542''-class landing ship tank

Main article: Landing Ship, Tank

Former US Navy LSTs that served during World War II, and transferred to numerous countries including the Philippines. The Philippine Navy received its first ships of the class on 30 December 1946, and has received almost 30 units between 1946 and 1976. Some of those that were received came through South Vietnam as several ships were absorbed by the Philippine Navy upon their escape at the end of the Vietnam War. One of the ships, BRP Sierra Madre was deliberately grounded at Ayungin Shoal and is treated as an active ship despite being modified as a semi-permanent structure and outpost to a few Philippine Marines stationed in the contested territory. Some of the ships were also used as helicopter platforms, stationing utility helicopters from the Philippine Air Force in several occasions, including during tensions with China in the Mischief Reef in 1995.

''Tagbanua''-class landing craft heavy

A sole ship of its class designed and built indigenously after the Philippine Navy called for the construction of a new landing craft utility (LCU). The contract to build 1 ship was awarded to Propmech Corporation in March 2010, with the Philippine Iron Construction and Marine Works (PICMW) building the ship based on a design developed with Propmech Corporation, which also supplied the propulsion and power systems of the ship. The design was not as successful as expected, and additional units were not ordered as the Philippine Navy received used landing crafts from Australia, and looked at acquiring larger, more capable strategic sealift assets.

''Alvarez'' class patrol boat

Main article: Cyclone-class patrol ship

The Alvarez class are Philippine Navy versions of the Cyclone-class US Navy inshore patrol ships previously used by the United States Naval Special Warfare Command for low intensity conflict environments. The Philippine Navy received the lead class, formerly the USS Cyclone (PC-1), and was transferred at a time when the US Special Operations Command rejected the class for being too big for commando missions, while the Navy Fleet found them too small for patrol and combat missions. Following the US Occupation of Iraq, the US Navy intended to keep the remaining ships of the class until the last ship of the class were decommissioned in 2023, and the Philippine Navy was able to receive two more units, the former USS Monsoon (PC-4) and former USS Chinook (PC-9) which were transferred on 28 March 2023.

''Kagitingan'' class patrol boat

Main article: Kagitingan-class patrol craft

Originally designed and built in Germany, the Kagitingan class was supposed to be built in numbers in the Philippines after the initial unit. It was reported that the ships did not reach their potential design and were underpowered and problematic, and were retired in the 1990s but was pressed again to serve due to lack of operating naval assets. Out of four, only 2 ships of the class remain and are expected to be retired from service as more new assets become available. Origin:
