In the early morning of February 4th, as the "Tianqi" merchant ship was safely escorted to the release point, the 47th escort fleet of the Chinese Navy successfully completed the 1658th ship escort mission. During the separation, the merchant ship expressed gratitude to the escort fleet via radio. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the 47th escort fleet received a request to escort the "Tianqi". After studying the formation, it was decided to send the Red River ship to provide accompanying escort. At the same time, the Baotou fleet is responsible for escorting three merchant ships, the Tianle, Xiangruikou, and Ruyisong, through the Gulf of Aden in a regional escort manner. On the morning of February 1st, two suspected pirate boats suddenly appeared near the merchant ship "Ruyi Song". The Baotou ship immediately stepped forward and separated the suspected pirate boats from the protected merchant ship. After a series of warnings and intimidation, the suspected pirate boat was successfully driven away.

We will definitely complete the escort mission well and strive to contribute more to maintaining world peace, "he said. (New Society)
