Commander Somsak Intharasema and Lieutenant Commander Thitiwoot Kaewchompoo embarked as part of a visit to the UK to see how Offshore Patrol Vessels in the Royal Navy deliver their capability.

Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Commander Tim Berry said,

“It was a pleasure to be able to demonstrate Severn’s capability to a new audience.
