SOMALIA-CHINA-FRANCE-PIRACY
French soldiers send a friendly message using an optical signal to Chinese destroyer DDG-169 Wuhan (pictured background) from French Frigate Le Floreal on January 7, 2009. A Chinese naval convoy arrived on January 6, 2009 in the Gulf of Aden on a landmark mission to protect the country's shipping from Somali pirates and escorted its first four vessels, state media reported. The four ships escorted were Chinese merchant vessels, including one from Hong Kong, Xinhua news agency said in a dispatch filed from aboard the destroyer Wuhan. The naval task force, deploying two destroyers and a supply ship, marks China's first potential combat mission beyond its territorial waters in centuries. AFP PHOTO STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN
