HMS Belfast

On Saturday I visited HMS Belfast, one of the most important warships in World War II but today it is a museum ship. The ship has three heavy guns and each of these needs 27 soldiers to be used. Belfast also contains butcher, a dentist, very small sleepingrooms and two huge enginerooms. Today the ship inculdes an exhibition about World War II, especially D-Day, where HMS Belfast supported the land forces with naval bombardment.

I´m highly impressed - by the ship, I mean... At least something in connection with HISTORY! Credit for Fritz!
