Summary
| Description | Philippine Navy destroyer RPS Rajah Soliman (D-66). Rajah Soliman had been commissioned as the U.S. Navy destroyer escort USS Bowers (DE-637) in 1944, which was redesignated high-speed transport APD-40 in 1945. The ship was decommissioned on 18 December 1958 and transferred to the Republic of the Philippines on 21 April 1961. In 1964, while she was moored in the Bataan National Shipyard, a typhoon battered Rajah Soliman, capsizing her alongside the pier. The warship was deemed unsalvageable, and her hulk was sold to Mitsubishi International Corporation on 31 January 1966 for scrapping. |
