British Naval gun support 1945-1982

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Maybe we'll get to 45m edit time some day? You're right an hour would be better.


Sorry for the delay but, it's the last of her kind still operating in the world. Hopefully it'll find a nice "museum home" when her time is up.

Thanks for the NAVY time, of course, I blame IronDuke99 for this, after all you have to have an exit strategy in place.

Regards,
Pat

HMS Belfast with 12 x 6 inch guns was operational until 1963 and in reserve until 1967. She is now a museum ship on the Thames in London.

Belfast could fire up to 96 6inch shells a minute from her four triple turrets, each gun firing up to eight times a minute.

The later Tiger class ships could fire up to 20 rounds a minute from each automatic 6 inch gun.

Which would make a mess of (some say improve) the London Gateway motorway service station at Scratchwood. The forward-facing guns of HMS Belfast are famously permanently positioned to score a direct hit on the services...
