[Credits To LunarEclipseSP] The BRP Kampilan (BB-01) is the flagship and first-of-class Archer-class battleship of the modern Philippine Navy. Constructed by PropMerch Corporation in 2028, the Archer-class introduces the Philippines into the realm of heavy-combatant, power-projection warships, combining traditional naval gunnery with cutting-edge point-defense and hybrid-electric propulsion.With a classic battleship profile reinforced by advanced armor geometry, the Archer-class emphasizes survivability, firepower, and endurance—ideal for both archipelagic defense and long-range Pacific operations PropMerch Corporation began design studies in early 2028 to provide the Philippines with a true blue-water heavy combatant capable of handling advanced drone warfare and long-range missile threats. The result was the Archer-class: a survivor-focused, hard-hitting naval platform intended for deterrence and open-ocean presence missions.BRP Kampilan, the lead ship, quickly gained a reputation for its combination of old-school punch and modern defensive tech, proving capable of both heavy bombardment and precise missile interception.
