The BRP Francisco Dagohoy (PF-10)[3] was an Andrés Bonifacio-class frigate of the Philippine Navy that served from 1979 to 1985.[4] She was one of six ex-United States Navy Barnegat-class small seaplane tenders and ex-United States Coast Guard Casco-class high endurance cutters received from the United States after the Vietnam War, two of which were cannibalized for spare parts without entering service. She and her other three sister ships were the largest Philippine Navy ships of their time.

- ^ This article assumes that the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships 1980-1981, p. 370, is correct about Francisco Dagohoy's lineage (i.e., that she was the former USS Castle Rock (AVP-35), USCGC Castle Rock (WAVP-383/WHEC-383), and RVNS Trần Bình Trọng (HQ-05)). The United States Coast Guard Historian's Office (see http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/CastleRock1948.asp) and Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1947-1982 Part II: The Warsaw Pact and Non-Aligned Nations, p. 356, agree with Jane's that Francisco Dagohoy was the former Castle Rock and Trần Bình Trọng. However, extensive confusion exists on the Web. NavSource.org in its entry for Castle Rock (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4335.htm) also agrees with Jane's that Trần Bình Trọng (HQ-05) became Francisco Dagohoy but in its entry for USS Chincoteague (AVP-24) and USCGC Chincoteague (WAVP-375/WHEC-375) (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4324.htm) also states that it was Chincoteague that became Trần Bình Trọng and Francisco Dagohoy. Meanwhile, the Inventory of VNN's Battle Ships Part 1 (see Part 1 at http://www.vnafmamn.com/VNNavy_inventory.html Archived 2015-01-25 at the Wayback Machine) claims that Trần Bình Trọng was the former Chincoteague and became yet another Philippine Navy ship, Andrés Bonifacio (PR-7), and in its Part 2 (see Part 2 at http://www.vnafmamn.com/VNNavy_inventory2.html Archived 2015-02-23 at the Wayback Machine) says that Castle Rock became an entirely different South Vietnamese ship, RVNS Ngô Quyền (HQ-17), before becoming Francisco Dagohoy. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships entries for Castle Rock (see http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/c4/castle_rock.htm) and Chincoteague (see http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/c8/chincoteague.htm) apparently were written before the ships were transferred to South Vietnam or the Philippines and have not been updated, and therefore make no mention at all of their South Vietnamese or Philippine Navy service.
