A British Royal Navy ship "HMS Westminster" arrived in Shanghai on Thursday afternoon on a five-day visit.

It is the eighth visit to Shanghai by British Royal Navy ships.

With 181 naval officers on board, the ship was greeted by Shen Changkang, deputy chief of staff of the Shanghai naval base.

Neil Morisetti, the commander of the ship, met with Wei Zongpei, commissar of the Shanghai naval base.

During their stay in Shanghai, naval officers will visit a frigate designed and made in China, the city's landmark Oriental Pearl TV Tower and other scenic spots. The naval officers of China and Britain will also battle it out in a tug of war.

The "HMS Westminster" was launched in February 1992 and commissioned into service in May 1994.
