context_page_description: BRP Tubbataha (MRRV-4401) is the lead ship of the Parola-class patrol vessels of the Philippine Coast Guard, and is the newest addition to the agency's fleet.
context_section_description: BRP Tubbataha, together with BRP Davao del Norte, were deployed to the Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal on November 3, 2016, and was meant to conduct inspections, make its presence felt on the area, and "test the waters" following the reported incident-free expedition of Filipino fishermen in the contested sea feature. The ships were instructed not to conduct provocative action as China Coast Guard (CCG) ships are still in the shoal. The two ships were backed-up by a larger PCG vessel, the BRP Pampanga.
  BRP Tubbataha, together with BRP Pampanga, BRP Nueva Vizcaya and TB Habagat were part of the task force sent to Bali, Indonesia to participate in the biennial maritime pollution exercise MARPOLEX Bali 2017 from May 15 to 18, 2017, together with other ships of the Philippine Coast Guard, as well as its counterparts from Indonesia and Japan.
