The HTMAS Sukhotai sunk on Sunday after taking on water during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand
A Thai naval ship capsized during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand on Sunday night, leaving more than 100 sailors needing to be rescued.
With the power lost, crew battled to retain control of the ship which listed onto its side before sinking around 23:30 local time Sunday . Dramatic pictures posted by the Thai Navy's Twitter account show the vessel listing onto its starboard side, and back-up rescue ships trying to find survivors in the choppy waters.Three naval ships and helicopters were sent to assist, but only the frigate HTMAS Kraburi reached the vessel before it sank. The frigate rescued 78 of the 106 sailors on board the Sukhotai, the navy said.
