A friend was in London last week and took these Pics of HMS Belfast.

I was there in March 2006. Really intersting interactive exposition inside. Beer and sousiges were good too

Hm, looks like she is under reconstruction. Would be nice if they would bring her to 1945 outlook.

Yes, but the bridge configuration is post-war.

I was there a few weeks ago. The Belfast gives you a great impression of what it should have been on a battleship.

I was there in 06 as well. Nice looking ship. Shame none of the larger BB's were kept after the war. A QE Class would have been spectacular to see.

True but it would have been too big to fit into the Thames :p

Nice pictures. I agree that one of the British battleships should have been preserved, considering all that the RN did to win the war. It's a crime that the "Warspite" is nothing but razor blades now!

I looked at her a couple of weeks back and compared her to the museum in SH4 and as far as I could tell, she's a modified Fuji Class Light Cruiser.
