HMS Atherstone and HMS Walney will be in Malta between today and Saturday.

HMS Atherstone was launched in 1986 and is commanded by Lieutenant Commander G. Dale-Smith. A member of the Hunt class of minesweeper, she is the largest warship to be constructed using glass reinforced plastic.

HMS Walney, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Richard Lindsey, was launched in 1991 and commissioned into naval service in August 1992.

The vessels will be berthed at Pinto Wharf 3. Due to the short period alongside, they will not be open to the public during their stay.
