The United States handed over this ship (Former USS LSM-338) renamed HTMS KUT to the Thai Navy in 1962. The ship, with the time passing dilapidated beyond repair, was in use for more than 60 years until it was sunk to serve as artificial reef in Pattaya Bay for wreck diving. Now it rests on the sea bed slightly North off Koh Sak at the depth of approximately 30 meters beneath the sea level and is very popular among recreational scuba diving.
