The navy on Wednesday deployed a remotely controlled SeaFox mine disposal vehicle to take photos of the sunken corvette HTMS Sukhothai and help plan for its salvage, as the search continued for 23 missing members of the crew.
A source said navy commander-in-chief Adm Choengchai Chomchoengpaet ordered the Mine Squadron to use the SeaFox to collect information about the state of the ship, which sank during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand, off the coast of Bang Saphan district in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, on Sunday night.
