Liberty 3 (HTMS Nongsarhai) is one of three wrecks commonly referred to as "The Liberty Wrecks".
The name HTMS Nongsarhai was given to two HTMS ships: A Bangrachan class Minelayer (Commissioned 05/10/1938) and a M48 Class Coastal Minesweeper (I know, ironic) commissioned in 1987. Further investigation is required to determine which of the two wrecks were scuttled as part of target practice.

Length: 49.12 m
Beam: 7.91 m
Propulsion: Diesel, Speedmax 13 knots.
The total cost of the Minelayer program (2 ships) was 23,300 USD excluding weapons
