Can anyone help me name the following ships coast; , all three prints have the date of May 1946 and Siam on them.

Any information would be helpful.

The First two look like WW2 destroyer escorts (DD) with large turrets but the third looks like a dismantled battle ship.... Because of my Naval history knowledge i would say its a british vessel. Sorry if this doesnt help any

Number 1 is the Phra Ruang ex HMS Radiant, Thorneycroft built.

In the middle is the Dhonburi, launched 1938 by Kawasake. Armed with 4-8" on a 2,265 ton hull. Go figure. Reduced to a wreck in action 1941 as part of a French squadron, refitted by Japanese.

Last is either the Tachin or Meklong, both training ships armed with 4-4.7 in single gun mounts.

I found them in a copy of Janes Fighting Ships of WWII.
