1st class submarine and the crews that manned them memorial. Beautiful. The Belfast is still formitable sight as she sits even today. Pictures like this for someone like me continue to drive home the fact that many countries worked together for a greater good. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

It comes through strongly when you're on board. Especially standing on the quarterdeck, a mild May breeze ruffling my hair as I look at the service plaque commemorating the Battle of the North Cape, where men fought, died, and burned in subzero snow and ice.

Chilling and inspiring at the same time.
