A veteran of WW2, HMS Belfast now educates rather than destroys. 🧐
has remained moored in London since the early-1960s, and despite her engines being fired up later that decade, she has remained dormant ever since. It is highly unlikely that she would be able to build up steam safely enough to provide enough power to get her moving.Her hull, however, should be in good order. HMS Belfast is regularly dry-docked, and the plate thickness is checked with ultrasound and issued the required certification to remain on an active waterway.
It is not out of the realm of possibility for HMS Belfast to undergo an extensive refit, but that would take millions of pounds and a lot of working hours.
