USCG LORSTA Sattahip Thailand

USCG LORSTA Sattahip, Thailand, was a United States Coast Guard Long Range Navigation (LORAN) station established during the Vietnam War era. Commissioned in 1966, the station played a crucial role in providing accurate navigation signals to U.S. and allied military and civilian vessels and aircraft operating in Southeast Asia. Operated and maintained by Coast Guard personnel, LORSTA Sattahip contributed significantly to the safe and efficient movement of forces during the conflict. The station was decommissioned in 1976 as advancements in navigation technology and the end of major U.S. operations in the region reduced the need for LORAN support.
