Boarding a ship, setting sail, and sailing in the blue ocean of the ocean is an experience of yearning and freedom. However, for the Philippine Navy, it has recently suffered a series of misfortunes. According to reports, natural disasters and ship accidents have occurred one after another, resulting in the sinking of three supply ships of the Philippine Navy, causing great hardship for the soldiers left behind at Second Thomas Shoal.

First, let's take a look at the background information on this vessel accident. According to the Philippine Navy, on the 24th, two Philippine ships carrying 11 passengers sank in the waters of Palawan Province in the Philippines. Both ships sank in the waters off Rojas, northeast of Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan province. In order to solve the problem of humanitarian supplies, the Philippine Navy switched to wooden-hulled ships for replenishment. However, on the 24th, another supply ship with 7 passengers on board also sank off the coast of Palawan. The three accidents in which the ships sank touched people's hearts.

To better understand the impact of the ship's sinking, let's take a look at the impact of the accident on Second Thomas Shoal. According to reports, Second Thomas Shoal is the old ** location of the Philippine Coast Guard, and providing supplies for it is an urgent issue. However, the Filipino soldiers who remained at Second Thomas Shoal faced severe food and fresh water shortages due to supply difficulties caused by the ship accident. To address this problem, the Philippine Navy attempted to send a supply ship to resupply the reef, but was intercepted by the Chinese Coast Guard. This made it impossible for supply ships to get close to Second Thomas Shoal, and the plight of Filipino soldiers has not been alleviated.

In order to solve the problem of replenishment, the Philippine Navy decided to send aircraft to airdrop supplies. However, due to the patrol of the Chinese ** ship and the guard of the Chinese coast guard, the process of airdropping supplies this time was not so smooth. In order to ensure the safety of the aircraft, the Philippine Navy decided to drop the supplies on the reef of Second Thomas Shoal, and the Philippine soldiers went to salvage them on their own. Despite the limited supplies delivered, Filipino soldiers are still doing their best to salvage to meet their survival needs.

However, the Philippine Navy's difficulties with the supply problem are far from resolved. In the event of a boat accident and the interception of a supply vessel, the logistics of the Philippine Coast Guard are in a big difficult situation. They don't know if they should continue to send ships to Second Thomas Shoal to resupply or find other solutions. One of the questions is, what if I charter a boat to go to Second Thomas Reef again and encounter an accident? They have to weigh the pros and cons to find the best solution.

From this incident, we can see the dilemma and challenges faced by the Philippine Navy in the issue of resupply. As a country's naval power, it is very important to ensure supplies and **. However, in a complex maritime environment, especially in waters disputed with other countries, the issue becomes more complex and intractable. The Philippine Navy needs to constantly seek solutions to ensure the proper functioning of the army and the basic living needs of its soldiers.

In short, the Philippine Navy has recently suffered from ship accidents and supply difficulties, resulting in food and fresh water shortages for soldiers left behind at Second Thomas Shoal. The Philippine Navy's predicament was further exacerbated by the occurrence of boat accidents and the interception of supply vessels. In dealing with these issues, the Philippine Navy needs to find suitable solutions to ensure the proper functioning of the army and meet the basic needs of its soldiers.
