Rimmer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Navy welcomes HTMS Bhumibol Adulyadej SATTAHIP:--he Royal Thai Navy welcomed its most-celebrated warship in decades when the renamed HTMS Bhumibol Adulyadej arrived at the Sattahip Naval Base. Navy commander-in-chief Adm. Luechai Ruddit presided over the Jan. 7 reception and fleet-enrollment ceremony for the high-performance frigate that was named the HTMS Tachin when it left Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. in South Korea Dec. 22. During its voyage to Hong Kong, Vietnam and then Thailand, the Royal Household notified the navy that HM the King Maha Vajiralongkorn had ordered FFG-471 renamed after his father, HM King Rama IX. The 14.6-billion-baht frigate is based on the design of the Gwanggaeto, or Great-class, destroyer built to the standards of the U.S. and South Korean navies.
