Насчет таиландского авианосца - это Вы прямо в точку угодили...
Приветствую!
>Таиландцы притухли, но почему-то потом решили завестись таким авианосцем. Вот интересно, почему?
Цитирую англовикипедию:
Chakri Naruebet is the first aircraft carrier to be operated by a Southeast Asian nation.[2] She is assigned to the Third Naval Area Command, and her intended duties include operational support of the RTN's amphibious warfare forces, patrols and force projection around Thailand's coastline and economic exclusion zone, disaster relief and humanitarian missions, and search-and-rescue operations.[1][4][5][2][10] However, at the time the carrier entered service, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis prevented the necessary funding to operate the ship from being available.[2][10] Consequently, Chakri Naruebet is usually only operational for a single day per month for training, with the rest of the time spent alongside as a "part-time tourist attraction".[1][2][10] The ship rarely leaves the proximity of the Sattahip naval base, and when she does, it is usually to transport and host the Royal Family of Thailand.[1][2] Naval commentators consider Chakri Naruebet to be less an aircraft carrier and more the world's most expensive royal yacht, while the Thai media have nicknamed the ship "Thai-tanic", and consider her to be a white elephant.[2][10]
