Random ORBATs!

Not exactly what you asked for gillan1220 but this is an ORBAT for the WarPac side; I'll do a NATO one tomorrow (hopefully).

Originally posted here on my Dawn of the Dead (2004) timeline.

I did an extensive research of what USN ships survived the outbreak. Many were lucky to be deployed at sea when the outbreak occurred overnight but there were also the ones that were caught in their moors. I gave the benefit of the doubt that smaller ships were able to escape the affected areas while bigger ships like carriers that were under maintenance would not be able to escape in time.

Red indicates possibly survived. Could not find their exact location at the time of the outbreak.

Something I worked on the Alternate History Fandom (now Wikia)

Mischief Reef stand-off
Date: February 15-20, 1995
Location: Mischief Reef, South China Sea
Result: Chinese structures destroyed by the Philippine Navy. The Chinese back-off knowing they could not take on the combined U.S. and Philippine flotilla.
Territorial changes: Mischief Reef acquired by the Philippines; Philippine flag planted on the reef.

Belligerents:

People's Republic of China:
- People's Liberation Army
--People's Liberation Army Navy

• Shantou (561), a Type 053H1G (NATO: Jianghu-V-class) frigate

- China Marine Surveillance

• 3 x CMS patrol vessels

Well this was based on an OTL event where Philippine Navy patrols were mulling on destroying those Chinese stilt structures, but ultimately chose not to because of fears of an escalation with China. The Philippines learned not to fight the Chinese after what happened with the Vietnamese in the Johnson South Reef in 1988.

This is the OTL video of it from AP:

Here is the comparison of Mischief Reef before and after the reclamation. Note how the Chinese literally made an artificial island from it.

〉


So in this timeline, the U.S. does not withdraw from the Philippines in 1992. With American military presence in the Philippines well into the 21st century, the Chinese never make those artificial islands we see today.

Next ORBATs:
- Two relatively unknown OTL event involving clashes by the Philippine Navy and the PLA-N in January 1996 and February 1996. This was actually sent to me from a PN veteran in one of the history groups I manage on Facebook.

This relatively obscure event IOTL around early 1996 just got revealed around late 2019 by a veteran of the Philippine Navy. It details how a Philippine Navy patrol boat encountered an armed Chinese trauler and came into contact with PLA-N missile-armed fast attack craft.

I'll probably be making this into a Wiki Infobox soon.
***********************
Capones Island Clash
Date: January 22, 1996
Location: Off the coast of Capones Island, Zambales, Philippines/South China Sea
Result: Philippine tactical victory
* Chinese boats driven away from Philippine territorial waters

Belligerents:
China:
People's Liberation Army Navy
- 2 x Type 021-class missile boat (copy of the Soviet Osa-class missile boat)
--Huangfeng-subclass missile boat/fast attack craft
- 1 armed trawler
Casualties:
1 Huangfeng FAC sunk (unconfirmed, according to Philippine sources)
Moderate to heavy casualties (Philippine estimate)

Philippines:
Philippine Navy
- 1 x Jose Andrada-class patrol craft:
-- BRP Dioscoro Papa (PG-381)

Casualties:
Unknown (according to Philippine sources)

Notes:
Thanks to Mark R. Condeno for posting this relatively unknown historical event at the Cold War in the Philippines (original post here) and Defense of the Republic of the Philippines (original post here) Facebook groups. Click on the links for full detail of the battle.

Here are some photos for reference:

Tomas Batilo-class patrol boat. The BRP Tomas Batilo (PG-110), the lead ship of her class, looks like this. Unfortunately, the Tomas Batilo partially sank during a typhoon in 2003 and was decommissioned. Her partially submerged wrecked was retrieved on May 25, 2009 by a team of U.S. Navy divers and Philippine Navy divers with assistance from the USNS Safeguard. Her remains were sold for scrap.

Below: AP archive footage of a Chinese piracy/smuggling operators (alleged to be PLA-N sailors in disguise) captured in Manila.

Made this ORBAT seen in the ending of Jurassic Park III when the USMC and the USN rescues Grant and the Kirbies from Isla Sorna.


Isla Sorna Rescue Mission

Date: July 20, 2001
Location: Isla Sorna, La Cinco Muertes
Result: Operation Success
- Survivors airlifted to safety

United States Navy:
USS Essex (LHD-2)
USS Boxer (LHD-4)
3 x SH-60B Seahawk from HSL-37

United States Marine Corps:
5 x AAVP-7A1
120 x Marines

Casualties: None

Notes:
- USS Essex and USS Boxer were in the West Pacific in early 2001.
- HSL-37 was the helicopter squadron that rescued the characters in the film according to IMPDB. It would be renamed to HSM-37 in October 2013.
- Each AAV holds 21+3 crew. Since there were 5 AAVs landing on the beach on Isla Sorna, that would make it 120 Marines.
