ABOUT HTMS SATTAKUT
EditHTMS Sattakut was originally commissioned into the US Navy in 1944. Two years later it was decommissioned and acquired by the Royal Thai Navy as HTMS Sattakut LCI (Landing Craft Infantry) 742.
The vessel measures 48m in length, 7m across the beam and is 18m from keel to the top of the mast.
Since her controlled sinking in 2011, her final resting place has been a location to the Southwest of Hin Pee Wee pinnacle where she lies at a maximum depth of around 30m, with the superstructure rising to between 25-20m. This makes the vessel accessible to divers of most certification levels.
Visibility around the wreck can be very variable, however as time passes more and more marine life is taking up residence on and around the superstructure, meaning that HTMS Sattakut can make for a very interesting dive.
