Introducing: The Royal Siamese Navy!

Post by Tankerace »

Since Japan, France, China, the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, and Holland all have navies in the game, we don't want the Siamese getting disappointed. So:

Image
The Phra Ruang, formerly HMS Radiant. She is the second most powerful ship in the Siamese navy.

Image
The Sua-Tayanchuou, a class of two similar destroyers. The are outclassed by modern destroyers, and are equivelent to Japanese Third Class Destroyers.

Image
The Siamese also posses 4 torpedo boats. They are small, slow, lightly armed, and of little combat value.

Image
The pride of the Siamese navy, the armored gunboat Ratanakosingra. Essentially a small coastal monitor, she mounts two six inch guns. While good for shore patrol, don't commit her to a firefight. Convoy escort would be a good duty.

And so the British don't get offended:
Image
HM Submarine X-1. Armed with 5.2in QF guns, she is (in theory) the perfect commerce raider.

Also, we are now allowing the IJN Oiler Notoro to be upgraded (as historically) to a seaplane carrier. Other Shiretoko class oilers are not eligible for this upgrade.

Didn't the Siamese navy get itself thrashed by the French during the time period we're dealing with?
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

I think that was in the 30s. All these ships that were sunk were done in by the Japanese in 1937. Some ships actually made it into the 1960s.
