CORRECTS BEARING TO SOUTH-SOUTHWEST- In this photo released by Japan Coast Guard, the Chinese surveillance ship Haijian No. 51 cruises in waters about 24 kilometers (about 15 miles) south-southwest of disputed islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, in the East China Sea on Friday morning, Sept. 14, 2012. The Japanese government says six Chinese surveillance ships have entered Japanese waters near disputed islands in the East China Sea. It was the first intrusion by Chinese vessels into Japanese waters since Japan bought the islands from their private Japanese owners this week. (AP Photo/Japan Coast Guard)
