S'PORE AND THAI NAVIES CONDUCT COMBINED MISSILE FIRING
20 Jan 2009
The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) participated in a combined missile firing on 12 Jan in the Gulf of Thailand, off Sattahip, Thailand.
The missile firing in the Gulf of Thailand was a first for the RSN, where harpoon missiles were successfully fired by the RSN's missile corvette, RSS Victory and the RTN's frigate, HTMS Naresuan.
Witnessed by the RSN's Fleet Commander Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng and the RTN's Admiral Soopakorn Booranadiloak, Command-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Fleet, the missile firing provided the opportunity for both navies to enhance interoperability and mutual understanding.
The RSN and RTN participate regularly in joint exercises, underscoring the warm and long-standing defence ties between the Singapore Armed Forces and the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
