3. HMS Belfast
Excellent service during World War II and beyond helped this British light cruiser to become legendary. In the hard conditions of the North Atlantic, the Belfast's creative design combined great seakeeping ability with strong armaments to make it quite successful. For their time, its sophisticated radar systems and fire control mechanisms were revolutionary, allowing precise engagement of targets in any kind of environment. The ship's extraordinary fighting capacity was shown by its involvement in many important naval operations including D-Day operations and Arctic convoys.
