HMS Greetham (M2632)
HMS ''Greetham'' was one of 93 ships of the of inshore minesweepers. All ships in this class had names chosen from villages ending in ''-ham''. The minesweeper was named after Greetham, Lincolnshire.
''Greetham'' was loaned to the Libyan Navy in November 1962, along with HMS ''Harpham''. These were the first two ships in the newly formed Libyan Navy. She was transferred permanently in September 1966, and she was renamed ''Zuara''. She was used as a coastal patrol vessel until 1973, when she was decommissioned.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oneweekholiday.com/attraction/Sliema/CAT13/LADY%20DAV )〕
That year, ''Zuara'' was sold to Captain Morgan Cruises, a Maltese tour operator, and was renamed MV ''Lady Davinia''. For a number of years she had a distinctive red and white ''Kit Kat'' paint scheme. In 2007 she was decommissioned and was laid up in Sliema Creek awaiting her fate. ''Lady Davinia'' sunk at her moorings in Sliema Creek in 2008. The exact date of sinking is unknown. The site quickly became popular with divers, as it was easily accessible and was full of marine life. Since it was not purposely sunk, the wreck was intact, with wine bottles and cutlery scattered around it, and soft drinks and beer cans still in the fridge.
The wreck was to be lifted and broken up in June 2011 as it was considered a navigational hazard. However, the workers only managed to remove part of the wreck, leaving the stern, engines and heaps of twisted metal at the bottom. Some remaining oil in the ship's tanks was spilt, and large holes were dug in the seabed. Due to this, most of the marine life area around the wreck was killed off.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/LADY-Davina-aka-HMS-Greetham/214776445226551?sk=info&tab=page_info )〕
