We also share two very important enemies( lol) the malaysians and the chinese (although the government has bilateral talks).


China and Thailand are very close and have been that way since the late 1970s. Much of the Thai army and navy use Chinese made military equipment.

What's the status of the Chakri Nareubet? Last time I did Cobra Gold (2003), I saw the carrier docked at some soup alphabet-named pier and when I asked some of the Thai Navy Officers observing the operation, lack of funds halted it's operation.

Yes; the Chakri remains docked; it ventures out to port here and there, but its performance is sub par; considering the cost in running a carrier.

Sirikittong: if Thailand really found operating the Chakri Nareubet bloody expensive, how come your country still ventured into having an aircraft carrier? :demon:

what's the status of Thailand's Knox class frigates? are they still operational or just like other countries that took in ex-US Navy Knox class frigates, Thailand already retired them?

also, did the Royal Thai Navy showed interest in acquiring those Israeli Gal class submarines?

are you still visiting the Philippines from time to time? :urock: :werock: :patrioticpinoy:

Well, the officers of the royal navy knew of the expenses of running a VSTOL carrier, believe me. However, the high command found it to be imperative in acquiring the carrier; remember that we attained the carrier by the Spanish (who built it for us) during the early 90s. The reason for acquiring the fighter was the readying of the new world order, in which the RTN knew that China would make a presence after the fall of the USSR. The naval high command also made it an imperative nature in acquiring the carrier in that it would give the RTN complete naval superiority in the Gulf of Thailand as well as giving us complete naval-air superiority to the RMN, RSN (arguable).

Israeli, if you do not know this, the navy has also placed special compartments for the Royal family and in most particular His Majesty King Bumiphol the Great (Rama IX). The carrier intended to give us naval-air superiority (which it does) and also be able to host the supreme ruler of our land, our king.

Concerning our Knox Class frigates, The Royal Thai Navy presently has two former U.S. Knox class Frigates in service. The Ouelet and Truett have been renamed Phutthaloetla Naphalai and Phutthayotfa Chulaok and currently serve in the third fleet. The Ouelet (ff.1077) was decomissioned in 1993 and sold to Thailand in 1996. Decommissioned on July 30, 1994, the TRUETT was subsequently leased to Thailand where she was recommissioned as Phutthayotfa Chulaok. Stricken from the Navy list on January 11, 1995, the TRUETT was eventually purchased by Thailand on December 9, 1999. USS Truett, was the Navy's first training frigate and the second Navy ship to be homeported in Naval Station Ingleside, Texas. Knox-Class frigates have been in service since 1969.

USS TRUETT was the 44th KNOX-class frigate and one of the eight ships of her class transfered to the Naval Reserve Force serving as Reserve Training Frigates (FFT). Each of the eight Reserve Training Frigates had its own reserve crew, and was also assigned four "nucleus crews" which would man the 32 decommissioned KNOX-class frigates in the case of a reactivation of these ships.

The former United States Navy frigate USS Ouellet (FF-1077), recived a $14 million conversion and recommission for her new owners, the Royal Thai Navy from Cascade General Shipyard in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Work performed by Cascade General on the 440-foot (134 m) Knox-Class frigate included system reactivations, electronic and equipment upgrades and repairs to the boilers, pumps, propulsion systems, stabilizer and rudder. The reactivation also included drydocking and coating. The vessel was built in 1970 at Avondale Shipyards in Louisiana and remained in active duty until 1991. She was re-christened the HTMS Phutthaloetla Naphalai.

Here are some pictures of our Knox Class Frigates

Thailand and China were quite close by then. It actually had to do with Vietnam back when the idea came up. Of course by 1994 when the keel was laid down that reason was long gone as well.

More like having a carrier because you can... :drunk:
