HMS Belfast
The on-line presence of HMS Belfast, famed for her role in the Battle of North Cape, includes a virtual tour.
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.
Travellers through London may take advantage of the Commonwealth Navies Exhibition on-board through March 31. The exhibition features WWII photographs and artifacts including this messdeck scene from Canadian destroyer HMCS Niagara, formerly USS Thatcher.
