context_page_description: The Royal Thai Navy, Thailand's naval warfare force, was established in 1906. It was modernised by the Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartiwongse who is known as the father of the Royal Navy. It has a structure that includes the naval fleet, Royal Thai Marine Corps, and Air and Coastal Defence Command. The RTN headquarters is at Sattahip Naval Base.
  The navy operates three naval area commands: Northern Gulf of Thailand; Southern Gulf of Thailand; and the Andaman Sea. RTN also has two air wings and one flying unit on its aircraft carrier.

As ships grew larger, King Chulalongkorn ordered the construction of a large wooden dock. He presided over the opening ceremony on 9 January 1890, a date now considered the birth of the Naval Department. Its headquarters is now at Mahidol Adulyadej Dockyard, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province.
