Construction of Belfast, the first Royal Navy ship to be named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick's Day, 17 March 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939 shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany. In November 1939 Belfast struck a German mine and spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs. Returning to action in November 1942 with improved firepower, radar equipment and armour, Belfast was the largest and arguably most powerful cruiser in the Royal Navy at the time. Belfast saw action escorting Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union during 1943, and in December 1943 played an important role in the Battle of North Cape, assisting in the destruction of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944 Belfast took part in Operation Overlord supporting the Normandy landings. In June 1945 Belfast was redeployed to the Far East to join the British Pacific Fleet, arriving shortly before the end of the Second World War. Belfast saw further combat action in 1950--52 during the Korean War and underwent an extensive modernisation between 1956 and 1959. A number of further overseas commissions followed before Belfast entered reserve in 1963
HMS Belfast walk through tour 2018 | 4k
I first visited HMS Belfast in 2003 and it's still as good now as it was then. It's easily one of the best attractions in London.
Laid down at Harland and Wolfe, Belfast, in 1936 and Commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1939 - during WW2 she served with the Arctic convoys, assisted in the sinking of the Scharnhorst (Northern Cape) and supported the D Day landings at Normandy.
After WW2 she headed to the Far East and was later to be one of the first British units called into action in the Korean War.
Destined for the scrapyard in the 1970's, but thankfully saved, preserved and open to the public to this day. If you're interested in history/military history then you'll definitely enjoy the tour and I can't recommend a visit to HMS Belfast enough if you're visiting London.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching.
