In addition, the brand continues to innovate its creations. Mr. Dennis suspected that more and possibly better drawings of the ship, ideally fully dimensioned shipyard construction drawings, might be in the possession of National Museums Northern Ireland: Ulster Folk Museum. A search there by the curator on Mr. Dennis' behalf did not find the better drawings we hoped might still be in existence, unfortunately. But we are very grateful for the effort.

Post-war, she served in foreign service on the Far East station, so she was in place to provide fire support to the UN forces during the Korean War. After this conflict ended in 1952, she was briefly paid off before entering an extensive modernization from 1956-1959. She went into permanent reserve in 1963, and was later saved from the breakers in 1971. She still exists today as part of the Imperial War Museum and open to visitors in the Pool of London.

The hull for Belfast looks to be well shaped, with the post-1942 refit bulge and armor belt quite prominent.. The foot of the bow has the paravane "clump" molded in place, but the bottom of the hull is missing the opening for lowering the ASDIC dome. The forward section of hull halves to have these small "pegs", which appear to be simulating venting on the current museum Belfast, but not present in wartime. These should be easy to remove cleanly. Also, the starboard sheet anchor hawse is missing; this wasn't plated over until June of 1943, and was not removed until 1959.

When completed, Belfast had an overall length of 613feet 6inches (187.0m), a beam of 63feet 4inches (19.3m) and a draught of 17feet 3inches (5.3m). Her standard displacement during her sea trials was 10,420 long tons (10,590t). [2] She was propelled by four three-drum oil-fired Admiralty water-tube boilers, turning Parsons geared steam turbines, driving four propeller shafts. [5] She was capable of 32.5 knots (60.2km/h; 37.4mph) and carried 2,400 long tons (2,400t) of fuel oil. [2] This gave her a maximum range of 8,664 nautical miles (16,046km; 9,970mi) at 13 knots (24km/h; 15mph). [3] Belfast departed for Portsmouth on 3 August 1939, and was commissioned on 5 August 1939, less than a month before the outbreak of the Second World War. Her first captain was Captain G A Scott with a crew of 761, and her first assignment was to the Home Fleet's 2nd Cruiser Squadron. On 14 August, Belfast took part in her first exercise, Operation Hipper, in which she played the role of a German commerce raider attempting to escape into the Atlantic. By navigating the hazardous Pentland Firth, Belfast successfully evaded the Home Fleet. [18]
