HTMS Thonburi 1959 : armed only 2xtwin 200/50 mm Type D Japanese guns

on 17 January 1941, HTMS Thonburi had serious damages and later sunk at Lam Ngob area, east of Ko Chang in the evening. she was refloated 7 months later and repaired, but serious damages made her less combat capability. she served as a training ship until decommissioned in mid 1959.






HTMS Sri Ayudhya 1943 : replaced 2xtwin 20 mm Medsen guns by 2xtwin 40/40 mm Japanese guns

on 1 July 1951, HTMS Sri Ayudhya sank on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok during the Manhattan Rebellion. she was officially struck from the naval register on 8 October 1959.

Excellent work on the Thonburi Class. Wonderful drawings as ever.

Excellent work

Fantastic work!
I assume that Ratanakosindra class will eventually follow too?

@superboy,

Severe (Very Serious) critics about yours SRI-AYUTHIA class drawings....

Dhonburi/Thonduri 1938-1941
Dhonburi/Thonduri career was between 1938-1941, thus draw this ship in this 1938-1941 period (add light AA guns !!!, with 76 & 40mm guns). Any other version is not serious


Sri-Ayudhya 1938-1951
(re-check al light AA guns & maybe replace the 40mm pom-pom with 20mm madsen ?)

Colombamike direct as always and I was not expecting anything else

I noticed the hull to, but didn't say anything

thank you to all.

eswube : Rattanakosin Class have very good ship plan, but i found some problems and still have no idea to fix its. (may be next year) RTN sold officially ship plan book in 199x but i have no, very high resorution drawing.

Colombamike: thank you for your comment and i fix some problems, HTMS Thonburi version 1938 on page 23

my ships base on photos, video clips and HTMS Thonburi memorial. underwaterhull base on RTN ship plan and RTN ship model. 1961 photos is HTMS Thonburi (ธนบุรี), after decommissioned she came to patrol squdron command center and i don't know when she was officially struck. small aft rangefinder i'm not sure but docoment say its armed. and Thonburi class armed 200 mm guns.








this is 40/40 mm gun for HTMS Sri Ayudhya (ศรีอยุธยา) (my part very ugly), this photo show 2 single 75/51mm bofors guns.
