Phuket Navy League Ship Tours
One of the honorary privilages of belonging to the Phuket Navy League is having the opportunity to join a special tour of some of the ships visiting Phuket. Although not all ships are open to visit many are, and our Navy League members and their invited guests join on these great adventures. A tour can often provide a unique opportunity to personally meet some of the officers and crew and as well as see compartment spaces and equipment rarely seen by the public.

As part of the appreciation for HeadStart International School, Kathu, supporting our Navy League July 4th All-America picnic we were able to invite an entire class of students and their instructor on a special tour. Even more rare was both the CO and XO of the Curts took the time to personally lead the tour.
