The American destroyer USS Carney has arrived in Grand Harbour, the latest warship to take a break in Malta from operations off Libya.

The destroyer joins British assault ship HMS Ocean and supply ship RFA Fort Rosalie, which have been in harbour for several days.

Another assault ship, the French Navy's Mistral, left Grand Harbour yesterday after a crew change, but is expected to return shortly. It was the first time in decades that two helicopter carriers - Ocean and Mistral, were in Grand Harbour at the same time.

But they are not the only attractions in Grand Harbour.
