Soldiers of Chinese navy special force prepare for the departure in Sanya of South China's Hainan Province on Dec. 25, 2008. Two destroyers and a supply ship left a port in the southernmost island province of Hainan for Somalia at 1:50 p.m. Friday. They will cruise for about 10 days to arrive in the Gulf of Aden, joining the multinational patrol in one of the world's busiest sea lanes where surging piracy endangers international shipping.
