Re: RN Cruisers: Town Class
A recent photo of HMS Belfast is a Town-class light cruiser that was built for the Royal Navy.
She is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum.

Wintry Weather Experienced by the Cruiser HMS Belfast during Her Patrols in Northern Waters.
Christmas card scene on board the BELFAST.
Though the guns looked so picturesque in their white coverings "their bark and their bite" were still ready for any enemy craft.
