Warm thanks to Christina, too, for having greatly added to the culture and civilization of this site. I notice, too, that we are beating the traffic on the competition, especially with outside persons.....
Re: HMS Belfast, London.
Last but definitely not least comes a selection of photos taken below the waterline; the turbines, the boilers and the heart of HMS Belfast, her engines. Lots of asbestos down there, too.

Re: HMS Belfast, London.
much more aesthetic and pleasing to my eye than my ding bat iphone or the other throw away things that plague us....I love late 19th and early 20th century machines. But you cannot look at all of this and not think of how men died in battle in such surroundings, which is all the more reason for our interest in such objects.

A few more from engine room and repair shop.

Re: HMS Belfast, London.
I´m sorry for my late reply.Superb photos Chris, thanks for sharing.
Quick question...
In post no.13, second picture down, did I see Ben Affleck fresh from shooting "Pearl Harbor"...?
In fact, I have never seen that film.. and Ben Affleck does not interest me at all. No, give me mr. Glenn Miller, please!

Re: HMS Belfast, London.
Thank you! I will then dedicate my time to Das Boot and German films about U-boots instead.

and watch Noel Coward's In Which We Serve, too. It is a wonderful film.
