Survey ship HMS Echo has been hunting for historic ordnance in the Baltic Sea with the Lithuanian Navy.
The Royal Navy ship carried out Historical Ordnance Disposal Operations (HODOPS) with British Hunt-class minehunter HMS Dulverton which now belongs to the Lithuanian Naval Force as LNS Kursis.
The ships tested their ability to locate and detect munitions lying on the seabed off the coast of Lithuania from pre-World War One to the Soviet Era.
