His Majesty's Ship Belfast was launched on St Patrick's Day, 1938, at the Belfast Shipyard by the then Prime Minister's wife, Mrs Chamberlain. It cost £2.14m. His late Majesty King George VI reigned then.
The City of Belfast naturally has strong bonds with HMS Belfast. I am proud of Her enduring heritage and salute Her seventieth anniversary.
