HMS Belfast, London, 2007 & 2013

60 photos taken in 2007 and 2013 of Britain's largest preserved warship, an 11,553 ton cruiser with a main armament of 12 6-inch guns in four triple turrets and a top speed of 32 knots / 36mph.

HMS Belfast, London, 3 September 2013. Belfast was extensively modernised in 1956 - 1959 with an enclosed bridge, lattice masts, different anti-aircraft armament and numerous internal changes. She is preserved as modernised - except for the paint scheme! Belfast wore this disruptive camouflage scheme during the Second World War, but not after her modernisation.
