The navy said that HTMS Sukhothai, a corvette carrying a crew of 106 troops, sank at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Gulf of Thailand. Strong winds and high waves caused the vessel to tilt and take on water, damaging its electrical system and leading to a power outage. The crew lost control of the vessel as more water rushed in, causing it to sink, the navy said.
