BRP ''Dagupan City''

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.

BRP ''Laguna''

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

The BRP ''Tagbanua'' (LC-296)

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.

''Acero''-class patrol gunboat

Ordered by the Philippine Navy from Israel Shipyards to eventually replace the Tomas Batilo-class fast attack crafts. Twelve were originally planned but only eight were initially funded as part of the Navy's procurement plan from 2018 to 2022. Four of the boats are to be built in Israel and will feature missile armament using the Rafael Spike NLOS short-range surface-to-surface missile, while the other four will be built in the PN's Cavite Naval Yard under a technology transfer agreement and will only be fitted for but not with the missile system. An additional 1 unit was negotiated by the Philippine Navy, although it will not have missile systems. All are fitted with remote gun systems from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The first two units were officially christened on 6 September 2022, and were formally commissioned on 28 November 2022.

Philippine Navy received several units transferred by the US government and formerly used by the South Vietnamese Navy, but were sold for scrap due to poor condition. Two units were transferred to the Philippine Navy as part of US Military Assistance in 1999 and 2001. They were designed with steel hulls and an aluminum superstructure for durability compared to earlier wooden-hulled patrol crafts.
