Hello, we’ve already discussed the tech tree of tanks and aircraft. Today we are going to talk about the ship part. I have gathered about the Thai Navy warships. which has been compiled and presented as a sub-map for everyone to read again and will be presented as follows
The concept of merging the Thai Naval sub-trees in Japan.
In the reign of King Chulalongkorn When Admiral Paribatra Sukhumbandhu, Prince of Nakhon Sawan Minister of the Royal Siamese Navy and Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, Prince of Chumphon as Chief of Staff of the Royal Siamese Navy He thought of building a new warship to keep up with modern needs. Once approved, an order is placed. Two Japanese torpedo destroyers (Sua Thayanchol Class) and three torpedo boats were ordered from Japan (Subsequently, one additional torpedo boat was ordered.) . This was the first purchase of a Japanese warship by the Royal Siamese Navy.
and in the year 1935, the Royal Thai Navy began It was a major “naval maintenance program”, with the procurement of a large number of foreign and home-made warships. By having ordered a large number of warships from Japan, including Coastal Defense Ship, Torpedo Boat, Sloop Ship, Troopship, Submarine and Seaplane from Japan to use a lot. and took part in combat and maritime defense during the Battle of Koh Chang and patrolling around the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman during World War II.
After World War II, there were still many warships ordered from Japan. Until gradually being discharged during the year 1977, the last Japanese warship to be discharged was HTMS Mae Klong. which was retired in 1996 and was displayed at Phra Chulachomklao Fort until now
At present, the Royal Thai Navy and Japan maintain good relations. Both the Royal Thai Navy and the Maritime Self-Defense Force have frequently exchanged visits between Thailand and Japan. And the latest time has participated in the parade in the International Fleet Review 2022.
For this branch, it will be a branch that will add Thai warships that are unique ships. and has a distinctive identity Both ship armament, ship speed and the addition of ships in the Japanese tech tree to be more diverse as well.
