Hi Luciano

I would go more on Buoy Tender, or any other auxiliary than the minesweeper
I'll be back

I believe it is a former British Ham class Inshore minsweeper, built in the late 1950's.

I can't tell where it serves now - is that a French flag back aft? Belgian? I'd rather believe that photo is of a civilian-owned vessel than a current military vessel that is fifty years old, made of wood.
