HMS Belfast was at war within weeks of being commissioned into the Royal Navy, but with the end of the Korean War in 1953, her future was in doubt. In 1955 the decision was taken to modernise HMS Belfast. She was rebuilt between 1956 and 1959 and gained new anti-aircraft weapons, new masts, and a new fully enclosed bridge.Belfast’s two final foreign commissions involved a whistle-stop tour of the world’s great ports – ending with a remarkable circumnavigation of the globe, taking in Guam, Hawaii, San Francisco, Seattle, British Columbia, the Panama Canal and Trinidad. Belfast arrived in Singapore at the end of December 1959, and spent most of 1960 at sea on exercise, calling at ports in Hong Kong, Borneo, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Australia, the Philippines and Japan.
