The HTMS Chonburi just shot the HTMS Kirirat.

 

 

Oh dear... mistakes happen and all that...   But this really isn't a good look.

 

 

 

 

 

Whoops a daisy ... 

Insurance claim coming soon  

Was this the cause of the Sukothai sinking

How will they blame this on foreigners?

I suspect brake failure.

We were just Frigating around sir!

This is what happens when 2 captains try to share one mea noy

Active combat medals will be awarded to crew of both vessels

 

This photo from 2016; the USA-built HTMS Kirirat was commissioned in August 1974; don't expect it has high insurance value, or value as a trade-in on the proposed new submarine

The shot originated from the front artillery of HTMS Chonburi, as there was an unexpended round in the barrel...

 

Alex Baldwin making a pirate film?

Bit of T-Cut and a tin of grey paint.....good as new....

Thailand has 1700 officers of flag rank, the US with much bigger armed forces is capped at about 600.

There is one Thai general for every 219 personnel of other ranks.

With that kind of Chief to Indian ratio, it's only surprising there are not more clustersomethings.
