photo very hazy, the camo on the ship looks like brown, greenish grey but can't tell very much if malaysian or thai warship.
But anyway if it is malaysian why does their king need to ride down in one especially now feb which is still monsoon period. Couldn't he just fly down in his personal helicopter.

Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Spotted sailing past one of our southern islands on 24th January this year. Note colour camouflage pattern and no flags spotted. Anyone can identify it?
My guess is Thai or possibly Taiwanese. Here is my logic...
1) its displacement is around 800 tons and from the length , it looks around 130 m or so. Possibly a Corvette or Frigate
2) It has 2 Oto Melara 76 mm guns fore and aft.
3) there is some kind of fixed missile launcher which looks like a US made Standard anti-aircraft/ missile launcher
It is too small to be one of the US or western powers or Japanese, who also don't camouflage their craft. Also, too small to be Indonesian ( who have much larger American and Soviet destroyers). It could be one of the older Oliver Perry class frigates that the US has retired but transferred to countries like Taiwan and thailand.

If they clash with Royal Malaysian Navy in Ambalat sea area, they will be blown to bits.
http://www.malra.org/posko/malra.php4?nr=37009RMN was a bigger joke when they have nothing to blow up the Indo warship in the waters off sabah that they have to crash their craft into the Indo ship...
remember the incident over the disputed Sipadan area ??Edited by pufferfish_79 02 Feb `06, 1:12AM
