context_page_description: The Royal Cambodian Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the Armed Forces of Cambodia and one of the three uniformed services of the Kingdom of Cambodia. It has an estimated of 4,000 active personnel and operates 228 boats/ships in active service. It is commanded by Admiral Tea Vinh and sails under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense.
context_section_description: The navy possesses fifteen patrol craft and a further five patrol craft of the "fast attack" variety.  There are also about 200 motorised and manual canoes.
  The country's seagoing capability was boosted in August 2005 when China handed over 5 patrol boats. In 2007 a further 10 were handed over worth $100,000,000. The craft were donated to Cambodia by China to help counter piracy, transnational crime, smuggling and to safeguard future oil installations.
  In 2007, Cambodia reported that it was increasing the strength of its navy from 1,000 to 3,000 sailors, apart from creating a force of 2,000 Marine infantry.
  Many officers of the Royal Cambodian Navy  received their training at the Vietnam Naval Academy.
