One of the greatest ships of our navy🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Used in D Day ?
I took my 7 year old son on the Belfast he is now 37, time flies, My uncle was in B turret of the repulse before WW2, and he told me one day ( its a sailors yarn) they were closed up when suddendly the turret range clock started ticking the big guns followed this information, slowly turning ( the ship was close to shore) the turret stopped, and they went the other way, it stopped again and traversed quicker, at this my uncle looked through the turret range finder to see the guns pointing at a man walking his dog, A new Lieutenant in the spotting top was playing, and all guns were following, I cannot imagine what the chap on the cliffs thought but by all accounts he made a run for it, Its not every day you get 15inch guns pointed at you. Every time he moved the guns followed. Yes a sailors yarn but a good one.
Great video. We are so lucky that people preserve our history.
6 inches is 152.4mm.
Thank you for sharing very interesting.
Question?
The gunners sailers are using a white colored face covering along with white gloves? Why?
Judging speed by observing the bow wave impressed me.
yes you could find a tutorial for everything on the internet.
My farther PO, RJ Mundy was PO on A turret from 1944 to 1946. He campaign for these guns to be restored for firing, back in 1980’s
'I'm a great believer in welding' brilliant 😂😂😂
Hoping to visit her some day!
It’s wonderful to see all the components of how the old girl fought. It’s even more wonderful to see all the equipment still work such as the breeches and the elevation wheels. Absolutely magnificent and interesting
"14mile range", the nice man told me some decades ago. *Great vid. It would be outstanding to have a Walrus on her again.
I didn't realise the marines had a role in firing the guns? Anyone got any more info on that?
My Great Uncle Arthur was a Stoker on H.M.S Belfast during the Russian Convey Campaigns in W.W.2 . Brave Lads and total respect to them all…..
My bucket list includes crossing the pond and seeing Belfast along with all the other preserved ships.

Cheers,Roly 🇬🇧⚓️.
