An air-cushion boat of the Chinese navy patrols in the waters of the Gulf of Aden on Sept 2, 2010. The boat, part of China's sixth naval escort flotilla for the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters, patrolled against pirates for two hours near the vessels sailing through the region. This is the first time the Chinese navy deployed the air-cushion boat, carried by the amphibious landing ship Kunlunshan, on an escort mission. [Photo/Ministry of Defense]
