'The HMS Belfast was ordered in 1936 and was commissioned in 1939 into the Royal Navy. It is named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and has seen combat in many parts of the world, including World War II and the Korean Conflict. Instead of heading to the scrap yard, local historians fought to save the HMS Belfast and she was brought to London in 1971 and is now preserved and part of the Imperial War Museum.
