Background

About the ship

HMS Belfast, the second Edinburgh-class ship, was laid down in 1936 and commissioned in 1939. At the beginning of World War II, the cruiser struck a mine, necessitating repairs until November 1942. In 1943, she escorted northern convoys and took part in the sinking of Scharnhorst in the Battle of the North Cape. In 1944, she covered the landing of Allied troops in Normandy. Between 1950 and 1952, the cruiser participated in the Korean War. Since 1978, Belfast has served as a branch of the Imperial War Museum. She's located near Tower Bridge on the Thames.
