History:

HMS Belfast (C35) Town-Class Light Cruiser is a Royal Navy light cruiser launched in 1938 and built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She was designed to protect vital shipping routes and support larger fleet operations. Shortly after entering service, she struck a German mine in 1939 and underwent extensive repairs, returning to action in 1942.

During World War II, HMS Belfast (C35) played a major role in Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union and participated in the Battle of North Cape, which led to the sinking of the German battleship Scharnhorst. She also supported the D-Day landings in June 1944 by bombarding German positions in Normandy. After the war, Belfast served in the Far East and provided naval gunfire during the Korean War from 1950 to 1952.

Decommissioned in 1963, HMS Belfast Town-Class Light Cruiser was preserved as a museum ship and opened to the public in 1971. Moored on the River Thames in London, she is part of the Imperial War Museums and remains a powerful symbol of Britain’s naval history.
