Philippines navy ship VS China

[vic008]

The one in the news now, that has just been successfully resupplied, much to China's angst. I understand it to be sitting on the bottom. My question is regarding the weather. How does it get on when a typhoon comes through? Would it not get swept away?

Seeing as the ship has been there since WW2 and endured countless typhoons I'm guessing not

I’d never heard of this, thanks for the link.

Looks like it wasn’t grounded until 1999.

She is looking a little worse for wear and rust.

I would not welcome being stationed on her.
