Two suspected Covid cases detected aboard Thai Navy flagship

By THE NATION

 

 

Two cases of suspected Covid-19 have been discovered aboard the Royal Thai Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier, HTMS Chakri Naruebet. The suspected cases are among a 500-strong crew manning the carrier, which is docked at Sattahip naval base in Chonburi.

 

The two crew members were tested for the virus after visiting the Pa Daeng brew house in Sattahip district. On Sunday, medics at Abhakornkiatiwong Hospital in Sattahip were reportedly ordered to check all 500 Navy personnel stationed on the Chakri Naruebet.

 

The Navy has not yet confirmed whether any of the crew are infected with Covid-19, Thai media reported on Monday.

 

However, the Navy said that if the two suspected cases are confirmed positive for Covid-19, all crew on board the ship would be quarantined.

Wow, is all I can say.  An Aircraft carrier that has been docked and manned by a crew of 500 crew is like a cruise ship if they have been quartered onboard, or even in barracks at the Naval yard.  I hope that they have this under control.  Sattahip cases now, and from a brew-pub very interesting.

Yeah, yeah, we know. Migrant stowaways !

Flagship!!! When was the last time that olde hulk sailed?? Don't think it has moved (very far) since I had seen it while working out of Sattahip 20 years ago.

It may be a stroke of luck that the flagship never goes anywhere!

I miss the pre-covid days when the worse thing you brought back to the ship was gonorrhea.

At least the crew won't be spreading the plague around other ports of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

IIRC, isn't this (non-)aircraft carrier also missing an engine?

The 500 must there on permanent standby, ready to row to the nearest war zone.

[tifino]

they need them on, to Ballast out the rust building up 

 

 

Wouldn't rotating crews be a good stand ii for a missing engine?

They have no aircraft, may they have a putting green on the flight deck for all the officers. A green keeper may be more appropriate.

It takes 500 Thai to man a stationary vehicle with the engines turned off?

If you can believe it, 140 of that crew are airmen!

They must be playing on-line flight games or flying drones around the base...lol

[Litlos]

At least it cannot be the dreaded "Dirty Falang" as only Thai's allowed on board, everyone else is a security risk, ROFLMAO
