The Bridge

On either side of the Bridge wings are two 40mm Twin Bofors Mark V Mountings. In all, HMS Belfast w as equipped with six of these mountings during the course of her modernization between 1956 and 1959.

Three of the four Bofors mountings can be trained and elevated by hand, although very young visitors may need some assistance as each mounting weighs almost 7 tons!

Fire from the guns was controlled by two Close Range Blind Fire Directors (CRBFDs), which are best seen from the top of the Bridge.
