Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 The Navy has relocated HTMS Chonburi out to sea, from the naval base in Chon Buri province, after a jammed artillery shell was accidentally discharged into HTMS Khirirat, which was docked nearby. The accident caused a fire on HTMS Khirirat and injured 14 sailors. The navy’s commander-in-chief, Admiral Adoong Pan-iam, explained that the relocation of HTMS Chonburi is a preventive measure, to avoid a repeat of the accident, adding “The ship will be thoroughly checked for any more jammed artillery shells or other faults.” Caption: HTMS Chonburi Full story: Thai PBS 2024-03-15 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

spidermike007 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Has the navy’s commander-in-chief, Admiral Adoong Pan-iam lost his job yet? I think this would be expected in most nations that were not absolutely dominated by their rather pathetic armed forces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gandtee Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 Moored out to sea? That is where it should have been after the gun problem. Not sailed back into port to point at another vessel. My brain hurts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Maybe time to clean up yet another hive of money wasting if not money destruction. The aircraft carrier was a total waste of money, now they start nuking their own boats and I just hope, it does not culminate in a battle where the new submarines without engines start launching torpedoes against each other. Yet another governmental part which should be closed, everyone sent home and the arsenal sold off as scrap metal. Latter revenues to be used for better education, social welfare of the underprivileged etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhendis Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Minor correction. HTMS Chonburi moored anchored at sea after accidental weapons discharge Unless, of course, there was a mooring buoy handy. Skipper is due for court martial tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
