China’s new South China Sea coast guard ships are more muscular than most and their mission comprises of law enforcement, search and rescue according to online publication The National Interest.
One especially combative ship CCG3210, formerly known as Yuzheng 310 has been affecting politics in the South China Sea, for a long time.
The ship is armed with machine guns, light cannons and innovative hardware proficient at jamming communications.
“Built in 2010, CCG3210 escorted a fishing flotilla and stared down the Philippine navy during a dispute over territorial rights. But that was just the beginning,” The National Interest reported.
In March 2013, the Indonesian patrol boat Hiu Macan 001 seized a Chinese fishing vessel in Indonesian territorial waters about 200 kilometers northwest of the Natuna Islands.
