Looks like the UK will be getting a new HMS Belfast. The current one on display in London will be renamed "HMS Belfast 1938"

One of the Royal Navy's new warships will be called HMS Belfast, the Defence Secretary has announced.

Sir Michael Fallon made the announcement as his visited Harland and Wolff shipyard in the city, where the Navy's last HMS Belfast was built before World War Two.

The ship will be one of eight new Type 26 frigates joining the fleet and will be used to protect the UK's nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers.
