HMS Belfast
HMS
Belfast served throughout the Second World War, playing a
leading part in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst,
and also the Normandy Landings.
In service with the Royal Navy until 1965, she was saved for the
nation in 1971 as a unique reminder of Britain’s naval heritage.
HMS Belfast is now moored on the River Thames in the Pool
of London, opposite the Tower of London and close to Tower Bridge.
