The Royal Thai Navy has begun sea trials of its three
latest Thai built coastal-patrol boats in Sattahip.
Chatchai Thataworn, Naval Director of Thonburi
Harbor, oversaw the Sept. 17 testing of boats 995, 996 and 999. Engines,
speed and stability were all assessed. The vessels are slated to go into
service in Sattahip once sea trials are complete.
He said the boats are the latest in a series of
vessels first launched in 1968 following HM the King’s inspection of
similar ships in Germany.
