28. Another attempt at mining Misrata port?
MajGenLorimer Maj Gen John Lorimer
HMS Liverpool was tasked with other NATO warships to intercept small high speed inflatable craft spotted approaching the port of Misratah.

Similar boats have previously been used by the regime to attempt to mine the harbour. #Libya

The regime artillery on the coast fired an inaccurate salvo of rockets at HMS Liverpool. #Libya

HMS Liverpool immediately returned fire with her 4.5" gun, which silenced the shore battery. #Libya

As a result of the prompt action by HMS Liverpool and the other NATO warships, Colonel Qadhafi's boats abandoned their operation.
