Last August, we visited England and I just had to take the opportunity to visit the HMS Belfast. Of course, then this winter, I had to try my hand at building the JSC kit of the Belfast.
Launched in 1938, the Belfast struck a German mine in 1939 and had to have extensive repairs completed before returning to action in 1942. She assisted in the destruction of the Scharnhorst and supported the D-Day invasion.
Beyond WWII, she served in the Korean War and was placed in reserve in 1963. Several years later, she was turned into a floating museum and resides on the Thames.
The second photo is one that I took as I left the ship.
