One sailor was found alive Tuesday in the Gulf of Thailand after two nights at sea following the sinking of a naval vessel.
, navy officials said Tuesday, as hopes faded for two dozen people still missing. Officials acknowledged there weren't enough life jackets for all those aboard.
Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Chonlathis Navanugraha said the survivor and the bodies, along with some debris, were found about 37 miles from where the ship sank. He was quoted by the Thai Rath newspaper as saying search efforts had been accelerated, but the missing couldn't be expected to survive in the sea for longer than two days.
Strong winds and high waves caused seawater to enter the ship on Sunday evening, knocking out its electrical system and making control of the ship virtually impossible. Other naval vessels rushed to the scene, about 20 miles offshore, to try to assist the stricken vessel but couldn't do much because of the poor sea conditions. Because the ship couldn't be controlled, more water entered, causing it to list and sink.
A video of Vice Adm. Pichai speaking Tuesday at one of the rescue centers showed him confronted by a woman who said she was the mother of one of the missing sailors.
