HMS Belfast's primary armament throughout her life was her 6inch guns. It took over 200 men working together over 8 decks to keep these guns firing what made these guns so complicated? Our experts take us from the Gun Direction Platform to the Fire Control Table, then into ATurret and ATurret's shell room to see how exactly they worked. We then take a look at her secondary 4inch guns and where her two Supermarine Walruses used to stand.
