Thai frigate Prasae stranded behind enemy lines on the Korean east coast,
January 1951. She had gone ashore in a snowstorm on 7 January and had to be
destroyed after unsuccessful efforts to pull her off. A helicopter and
several U.S. Navy ships, including USS Endicott (DMS-35), are offshore
covering salvage operations. Prasae was formerly the British corvette Betony
and the Indian Navy's Sind. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the
