British cruiser cutaway sectional model depicting “Belfast.” HMS Belfast was completed by Harland & Wolff on 3 August 1939. Her internal subdivision was exceptionally complete. She was practically rebuilt after being heavily damaged by a mine in the early months of World War II. Her beam was then increased and other alterations were made. The vessel survives, and is currently afloat on the Thames in London.
