General information
The HMS Belfast is a premium British light cruiser. It was introduced in Update 1.93 "Shark Attack".
The Belfast is a modified Southampton-class (more popularly known as the Town-class) light cruiser, and is a sister-ship of the Southampton and Liverpool. She is depicted in her post-war reconstruction form, as the ship appears in the present day, moored on the River Thames as a museum ship. As such, she does not have the torpedo armament originally fitted to all Southampton-class cruisers, but has much improved anti-aircraft armament and a distinctive modified bridge and lattice masts.
