Chinese cutter Hongying

Hongying is a China Coast Guard 1500 tonne class cutter. She is more commonly known as Haijing 6103, formerly Haijing 1115 or Haijian 15 due to her pennant numbers. It is operated by the 6th Bureau of the China Coast Guard and is stationed in Qingdao.

History

While in the CMS, she was in the 1st Marine Surveillance Flotilla of the North China Sea Fleet.
Haijian 15 was christened and commissioned on January 6, 2011 at her home port of Qingdao. Haijian 15 has frequently conducted cruise operations in disputed waters around the Senkaku Islands. In 2012 alone, Haijian 15 was deployed to waters around the Diaoyu Islands four times, for 103 days in total. She once sailed to a position that is away from the main island, Diaoyu Island, and personnel on board raised China's national flag to assert China's claim of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. In July 22, 2013 when the China Marine Surveillance was disbanded, the ship was handed to the China Coast Guard and renamed to Hongying .
Hongying has frequently engaged in law enforcement patrol operations in waters around the Senkaku Islands.
Hongying was recently renumbered to 6103.
