Chief Master Sergeant
I visited HMS Belfast today and took a few snaps so
I thought your guys may like a butchers at them I shall post more pictures later as there are some interesting facts to go with them.
Launched in 1938 HMS Belfast is a six inch cruiser and
was commissioned just in time for the out break of the
war although she has been refitted several times the
basic vessel is the same as she was during the war.
The main differences are the loss of the six 21" torpedo
tubes and the Walrus aircraft she once carried .
She is moored in London near Tower bridge on the
South bank of the Thames
Displacement 11,553 tons
Length 613 ft
Beam 69ft
Draught 19ft 9 inches
Armament
12 X 6 inch
8 X duel purpose 4 inch
12 X 40mm Bofors
Propulsion
Four Parsons oil fired turbines with 80,000 shaft horse power
Maximum speed
32 knots
Compliment
750-850
