}} | HTMS Pattani[1] is one of two Pattani-class offshore patrol vessels currently commissioned by the Royal Thai Navy. Under a May 2002 agreement, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation built the Pattani and her sister ship HTMS Naratiwat at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai.[2] Pattani was launched in 2004 and delivered to the Royal Thai Navy on 16 December 2005.[2] On 10 September 2010, Pattani and the support ship HTMS Similan departed Sattahip Naval Base with a total of "351 sailors and 20 special warfare troops" to join anti-piracy efforts in the Gulf of Aden.[3] "The mission marks the first time Thailand has sent forces overseas to protect its own interest."[3] As part of multi-national Combined Task Force 151, Pattani and especially Similan "disrupted pirate activity" in two separate incidents on 23 October 2010.[4] On 20 January 2011, both ships returned to port after a tour of duty of 137 days.[5] On 9 March 2014, Pattani was deployed along with AgustaWestland Super Lynx 300 in search and rescue operations of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
