Britain's greatest warship. Even more so than HMS Victory.
My Grandad served on her in WWII

"I despise the hard knocks of the breakers!"
Scrapping should not have been her fate.
Should of been a museum ship like Belfast
And she still refused to go quietly,... 🥲Legendary Ship!
Such a crime to scrap the finest battleship of the navy. The most decorated ship and the only ship to score the longest battleship on battleship shot with a shell. Disgusting. Rodney and one of the KGVs needed preserving also. What great proud museum pieces they would have been today. Hms Belfast just does not cut it.
Her name lives on Warspite Avenue here in NZ was named after her along with other RN warships👍🇳🇿
This Grand old Lady should have been left to rest where she chose to be last the end of her life. Scrapping her seems like destroying a Gallant War Horse, unseemly.
The saddest sight. I literally have moist eyes.
You say you have no subject
And your brushes all have dried;
But come to Marazion
At the ebbing of the tide.
And look you out to seaward,
Where my Lady battle scarred
Hugs the rock that is more welcome,
Than the shameful breakers yard.
Paint her there upon the sunset
In her glory and despair,
With the diadem of victory
Still in flower upon her hair.
Let her whisper as she settles
Of her blooding long ago,
In the mist than mingles Jutland
With the might of Scapa Flow.
Let her tell you, too, of Narvik
With its snowy hills, and then
Of Matapan, Salerno
And the shoals of Walcheren;
And finally of Malta,
When along the purple street
Came in trail the Roman Navy
To surrender at her feet.
Of all these honours conscious,
How could she bear to be
Delivered to the spoiler
Or severed from the sea ?
So hasten then and paint her
In the last flush of her pride
On the rocks of Marazion,
At the ebbing of the tide.
-Lieutenant-Commander R.A.B. Mitchell
the grand old lady indeed
That ship's spirit is Louise Belcher: dragged away screaming "I'll see you in hell, Dönitz! I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL!"
Such a shame to scrap a ship like this. Britain defiled what should have been one of its most valued monuments.
