Annual Navy Training 2021 on 2 April 2021 by HTMS Chakri Naruebet CVH-911 who returned from training in the Andaman Sea at the end of March. Sailing to the Gulf of Thailand in early April has acted as an operating base for a S-70B anti submarine helicopter.
One Sikorsky S-70B (SH-60B) Seahawk mounted with Light Torpedo Anti Submarine Mk 46 Mod 5 with a corvette HTMS Rattanakosin FS-441 as a control ship for Anti-Submarine Warfare, in which S-70B Seahawk fired a light torpedo Mk 46 with a real warhead (Live Warhead) destroying underwater targets for the first time.
The Royal Thai Navy has shown a picture of a training that has led the S-70B with a light torpedo Mk 46 for the first time in the Guardian Sea 2016 combination exercise between the Royal Thai Navy and the US Navy, but as a trainee.
Practice which in the submarine warfare, a helicopter carrier or a frigate with a landing the aft of the ship will serve as a flight base for pick-up and drop-off anti submarine helicopter. The control ship will serve to detect underwater targets from a distance and give orders. The helicopter flew towards the target as a torpedo-shooting system to destroy the target.
The Royal Thai Navy has ordered a more modern US anti-submarine Mk 54 torpedo supplying, but it still does not appear to be installed with S-70B.
