The Type 23 Frigate is the backbone of the Royal Navy's fleet, with 16 ships in service or under construction. Each £180m vessel is fitted with a range of sophisticated electronics including Plessey Type 996(I) radar and Ferranti/Thomson Sintra Type 2050 sonar.

Walton's electrically operated valves are installed on the chiller systems of these ships, and help regulate the temperature of this equipment.

The final vessel of the class, H.M.S. St Albans, entered service in November 2001 and shares its name with the home of the Walton valve.

Walton's electrically operated valves are installed on the hydraulic lift coolers of the Royal Navy's newest assault ship, H.M.S. Ocean. 

Officially designated a Landing Platform Helicopter, H.M.S Ocean displaces 21,500 tonnes, and is 208 metres long. The ship can carry 500 troops and an extra 300 in emergencies.  She can operate up to 18 helicopters and in a time of war is also capable of transporting and operating Sea Harrier aircraft.  The lifts are an essential part of her capability, enabling the helicopters and Harriers to be raised to and from her main deck.

Walton's electrically operated valves are installed on the main engine cooling systems of the US Coast Guard's Marine Protector Class Coastal Patrol Boats.
