HMS Belfast is a cruiser. She was launched in March 1938 and served throughout the Second World War, playing a leading part in the destruction of the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst at the Battle of North Cape and in the Normandy Landings.

After the war, she supported United Nations forces in Korea and remained in service with the Royal Navy until 1965. In 1971 she was saved for the nation as a unique and historic reminder of Britain’s naval heritage in the first half of the twentieth century.

This is one of the paces that I have visited in London and it has to be one of the best. You can go look round the entire ship and relive the battle scenes that it encountered by listening to the tapes and looking at the models of the sailors all around it.
