The head of the Royal Thai Navy’s anti-piracy task
force in the Gulf of Aden made an early return to Thailand as his
squad’s vessels continued to steam back from their complete mission off
Somalia.
Vice Adm. Pojna Phuakpong, assistant chief of staff
for Navy personnel in Sattahip, met Rear Adm. Tanin Likitwong at
Suvarnabhumi International Airport where he arrived via commercial
flight from Bahrain.
The 368 crew members of the HTMS Similan and HTMS
Naratiwat were scheduled to return to Sattahip Naval Base Nov. 29 after
their 140-day mission with the international anti-piracy flotilla.
