The Royal Navy helicopter assault ship HMS Ocean is back in Grand Harbour on a short visit, along with Royal Fleet Auxiliary supply ship Fort Rosalie.

The two ships have berthed at French Creek, apparently because of an abstence of berths elsewhere.

HMS Ocean was also in Malta a month ago.

The French Navy's helicopter assault ship Mistral is expected in Malta tomorrow.

All vessels are involved in operations off Libya.
