Would Malta have adopted the proposed aircraft carrier HMS Malta?

An enthusiastic reception is expected, with a blessing ceremony, a silver bell, and Maltese decoration, comparable to the associations celebrated by HMS Ashanti and HMS New Zealand.

An aircraft carrier named HMS Malta would probably have received an enthusiastic welcome from the island. A blessing ceremony and a silver bell are imagined as part of that relationship. HMS Ashanti's association with the Ashanti and HMS New Zealand's visit to New Zealand provide comparisons for how communities could embrace a namesake warship. Maltese crosses would also have supplied an obvious decoration. The reception remains hypothetical.
