<p>(Reuters) -Singapore plans to acquire four Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, a statement from the country's defence ministry said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The order is the first phase in a refresh of the Singapore Armed Forces maritime security capabilities. The aircraft will replace existing Fokker 50 planes, which have been in service since 1993, the statement said.</p>

<p>It did not disclose the value of the deal. Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>

<p>Singapore's Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing added that production of 20 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets that Singapore has on order has begun and they are on track for delivery from the end of 2026.</p>

<p>Chan met U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Hegseth welcomed him to the "newly minted Department of War".</p>

<p>U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the name change, but that will require action by Congress.</p>
