Now this is something useful conducted by the Navy, well done.....

 

this is more constructive then makling raids on small time vendors, selling fake t-shirts in open air markets!!!

So confident in their ability, they conducted the training 50m from the shore. Not sure many sea rescues are required in depths where people can stand but it does allow them to travel only a short distance for a typical photo and media, pat yourself on the back opportunity.

 

Aren't training sessions supposed to simulate anticipated real conditions.?

 

At least the helicopter didnt crash I  suppose.

I saw them training 30 nm offshore close to the Similan Koh 4. No members of press were present. The aircraft did not crush.

They have to well honed for when the Submarines arrive
