Against the backdrop of Western countries attempting to undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, how to defend China's maritime sovereignty is a very important issue for our country. As a comprehensive platform that integrates "cruising and rescue", maritime patrol ships are becoming increasingly important.

Recently, it was reported that China's first and largest 10000 ton maritime patrol ship has officially entered service.

On October 23rd, the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration announced that the "Haixun 09" vessel has officially joined China's maritime law enforcement sequence in Nansha, Guangzhou. This is also China's first 10000 ton maritime patrol vessel, currently the largest tonnage, most advanced equipment, and most comprehensive public law enforcement vessel.

According to the official statement, it is at the "world leading level", in other words, it is at a stage where other countries have not yet figured it out and we have already used it.

According to the news obtained from Xinhua News Agency, the "Haixun 09" ship in service this time has a total length of about 165 meters, a width of 20.6 meters, and a full capacity of about 13000 tons. It can withstand wind force of level 12 and operate normally at sea.

This is already a rare capability among current non military official shipping units, as even smaller ocean going cargo ships of tens of thousands of tons can withstand wind speeds of up to level 10.

It is reported that the "Haixun 09" vessel is equipped with multiple intelligent cabin systems, including high-pressure water cannon systems for law enforcement and photoelectric tracking systems.

In the on-site pictures of this service, it can be seen from the design of the "Coast Guard 09" that there are clearly multiple apron areas for helicopter use.

Therefore, we have reason to infer that it can be equipped with multiple types of helicopters according to mission requirements for maritime search, rescue, reconnaissance, and so on.

As a comprehensive platform, the design team also configured multiple satellite systems for the "Haixun 09" vessel to achieve global networking; On the electronic system, it can support dynamic perception and detection of the marine environment; A large-scale information processing system can support a certain range of maritime supervision and comprehensive command capabilities.

Its service can be said to have extraordinary significance for the cruising, maritime rescue, and surveillance needs of relevant institutions in our country.

It is interesting that the current tense game between China and the United States, coupled with the United States' turmoil in the Asia Pacific region, has exposed its own weakness. As the first 10000 ton maritime patrol ship in China, the "Haixun 09" has also received considerable attention from some military experts in the United States.

When American experts observed China's "Coast Guard 09" ship and contacted various types of warships that have been continuously in service in recent years, they discovered a small detail.

US Navy expert Jerry Hendricks pointed out that if you observe the hulls of mainstream ships around the world, it is easy to find that their hulls often have an arc, a tilted circle. In recent years, among the ships built in China, the curvature of the hull side is very small, presenting a flat style. Among them, China's 10000 ton large drive and large patrol ships are representative.

The expert pointed out that this design is too harsh. Because they are not based on aesthetic or usage area considerations, but on maritime impacts.

At present, although the overall situation in the Asia Pacific region is tense, no country dares to take action. Therefore, a relatively peaceful means of competition - collision - becomes particularly important.

In the same waterway, this type of ship with a flat hull can better push opponents away or even capsize. You don't need to risk triggering a war to successfully achieve your goals. It can be foreseen that with the service of the "Coast Guard 09", some people will be filled with hatred.
