The Royal Navy and coast guard authorities have been investigating why two Belgian naval ships have been allowed to sail close to the Welsh coast for the past 12 hours today.
The colossal BNS Godetia, a command and logistical support ship that is 92 metres long and BNS Lobelia, a 51 metre long minehunter, have been mysteriously circling the coast since late last night.
A Holyhead Coastguard spokesman confirmed the ships were sailing off Cilan Head near Abersoch but said they had 'absolutely no idea what they are up to'.
The colossal ships are believed to have been involved in a task force exercise in the Irish Sea with a Dutch submarine that called in to Dublin at the weekend.
A Marine Traffic map shows the ships heading up the Irish Sea towards the coast and then veering off just before 9pm, in the case of BNS Godetia, and just after 12pm for BNS Lobelia.

Looks like a MCM.
We have our own invasion problems to deal with:
90% of Canada’s population is currently positioned within 100 miles of the US border.
It’s obvious to me that if Cruz doesn’t get the nomination, he will call on his country to invade the USA.
Good one.
Somehow, I don’t see Belgium declaring war on anybody.
I guess they could chocolate up to bad judgment.
Appears the Belgian ships are waffling.
So, that’s what ales them?
They are choc a block out there.
Yours is better.
Probably just Islamists from Brussels looking for a landing beach.
Whale watching?
Did you mean “Wales watching”
Seriesly - 92 meters is less than 300 ft - LOL - massive to a Lilliputian, yes . . .
In comparison to what most of the euro-weenies have, it is at the upper end. Looks completely unarmed though, so no threat.....
This ain’t complicated. obviously they found a good spot and are fishing.
Has anyone checked to see if they also might be "unmanned"? If a seagull with just the right aim landed a key chemical bomb, they may have all abandon ship. That would explain why they are circling.
We aren’t going to invade. We may ask for annexation in the west if things start looking better heh.
It’s actually over 300ft. Still not that big heh.
The ships identity is :" A960"
If no vowels , it must be a spy ship !!
Given the unfortunate happenings in the Mediterranean , I doubt that there are Muslims there since they don't have any good sailors.
Maybe they've been into the 'wackey-weed' again ?
Somebody lost a contact.
What a cute little ship. Hardly “colossal”
I see there is a place to mount a gun if they ever decide it’s needed.
As it is now the Queen’s yacht looks more menacing.
Not good
