I worked on that ship and its class lead a few years ago. I know their crew having spent several weeks with them. I am heartbroken. They really took care of that ship as the Thai Navy does with all or their vessels. They are a professional Navy in every sense of the word. Others may have different views but mine is based on sailing with them on 7 different ships from the Sukhottai, Rattankosi, all their Frigates and their CVH.
Sad day today for me
Informative background. Thanks.
Do you know the captain and if he survived? If he did, he has some explaining to do at his Board of Inquiry.
Condolences shipmate.
