A Great Visit On HMS Belfast:

Construction of Belfast, named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town class light cruiser, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick's Day, 17 March 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939 shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany.
In 1967 efforts were initiated to preserve Belfast as a museum ship. A joint committee of the Imperial War Museum, the National Maritime Museum and the Ministry of Defence was established, and reported in June 1968 that preservation was practical. In 1971 the government decided against preservation, prompting the formation of the private HMS Belfast Trust to campaign for her preservation.
HMS Belfast is now the only surviving vessel of her type to have seen active service during World War II. Serving Britain for 32 years, she played an important role in both World War II and the Korean War, as well as performing peacekeeping duties throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Saved from destruction in 1971, HMS Belfast is now part of the Imperial War Museum and is the first ship to be preserved for the nation since Nelson’s Victory.
Construction of Belfast began very effectly, about expected cost was £2,141,514; of which the guns cost £75,000 and the aircraft £66,500. She was launched on Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March 1938 by Anne Chamberlain, the wife of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. By this point the Town class had evolved into three subgroups; Belfast and her sister ship HMS Edinburgh formed the final group with a displacement of 10,000 tons, the greater weight due to thicker armour.
