Talk:HMS Belfast

message: The introduction asserts that Belfast was the "largest and arguably most powerful cruiser" in the Royal Navy in 1942. She certainly wasn't the largest and there is no argument made by the cited source for why she was the most powerful. Country class cruisers were larger by all measures (at all times), and they also carried heavier calibre weapons. The IWM is not sufficiently neutral or reliable as a source (being the owner) and the text has been copied verbatim from their website. I have, therefore, removed the text from both sections that use it, as per WP:CV. Wiki-Ed (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

message: The article describes the camo scheme as "Admiralty Disruptive Camouflage Type 25". Was this a dazzle pattern? It looks dazzle-lite - it's very restrained - so I'm not sure whether to link to dazzle in the article. 87.114.59.23 (talk) 23:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

message: What this article does not tell me is as to what state the ship is now in? Is it mostly intact or it a hull with some interpretive stuff inside? I mean is it just a floating gate guardian or is it more substantial that with maintenance it could be run again? 86.137.42.85 (talk) 16:00, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: We'd need a source for that. Can you find one? My assumption would be that it would cost £millions to return the ship to a self-propelled condition, and that it'll never happen. Nortonius (talk) 17:02, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
