And here is Saiburi, you can see here that Saiburi and Kraburi are both of the Jianghu V class having the helo deck aft, where as the Chao Phraya and the Bangpakong are of the older Jianghu I class with the second gun aft.

Here is a little info I have on them:
Displacement [Right]1,800 normal, 1,960 full load [/Right]
Length [RIGHT]338.5 feet / 103.2 meters [/RIGHT]
Beam [RIGHT]33.4 feet / 10.2 meters [/RIGHT]
Draft [RIGHT]10.2 feet / 3 meters [/RIGHT]
Speed [RIGHT]28 kts [/RIGHT]
Armament [RIGHT]

Crew [RIGHT]168 [/RIGHT]

Blast area could also take out a few of the smaller ships, thus it is still a valid point. Firing one of these missiles into a squadron of landing craft could knock out at least five in one hit, provided that they are travelling in a group and not line abreast or stagered line astern. So it is a question of how an group is planing on breaching a beach head and countering the effect, technically it is still possible. I remember in the RAN we talked about an experiment where landing craft were taken out with an AIM 7 Sparrow and a Roland SAM, the Roland did more damage, but the Sparrow had the advantage of being launched from the air.

MR: Mate no it doesn’t involve smuggling, Australia has many ship wrecks around it’s coast line, some scuttled (including my favourite HMAS Australia I, a Drednaught class Battle cruiser from WWI) with a ship such as this we could take tours of these shipsto see thm how they are now and such, also would be good for up around the Pacific Islands for WWII tours, maybe we’d find those japanese carriers at last!
