The CCG 5901 is a large cutter and patrol vessel of the China Coast Guard.

Background

CCH 5901 is 164.89 metres (541.0 ft) long and a displacement of 12,000 tons. She is three times the size of the United States Coast Guard's National Security Cutters. She is also larger than every coast guard ships (with a notable exception being the United States' icebreakers) and outsizes some United States Navy destroyers. Her size led to the ship being given the moniker "The Monster".

Deployment

CCG 5901 is usually deployed in the South China Sea to enforce China's sovereignty claims over the disputed sea and its islands. It has been deployed near the Scarborough Shoal and the Second Thomas Shoal as well as the Philippines-controlled Thitu Island.

China has insisted that its operations in the disputed see is part of its legitimate law enforcement operations. The Philippines, another claimant country, says that the CCG 5901 is engaging in intimidation and her presence is a violation of its own exclusive economic zone.
