Fun fact: the Chinese coast guard has a handful of cutters that are bigger than our Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
(fwiw that chart is outdated and based on an awful source but I'm pretty sure that number *is* just the PLAN fleet, they have something like 80 Type 022 missile catamarans and a huge fleet of older monohull ones)
