Depicts HMS Belfast as it appeared in the 1960s. In the upper left, a globe symbolizes the thousands of miles she traveled during 25 years of active service. The text "HMS BELFAST" is inscribed along the lower edge of the globe, with the engraver's initials positioned at the bottom right.

HMS Belfast, a cruiser of the third Town class, was designed in response to Japan's Mogami-class cruisers and built to withstand 8-inch shells, reach 32 knots, and carry twelve 6-inch guns. Launched on St. Patrick's Day 1938, she featured enhanced firepower, deck armor, and aviation capabilities, including two Supermarine Walrus aircraft for wide-area patrols. With a displacement of 10,420 tons, Belfast was powered by oil-fired boilers and steam turbines, achieving a top speed of 32.5 knots and a range of 8,664 nautical miles. Her armament included twelve 6-inch guns, anti-aircraft weaponry, torpedo tubes, and depth charges, complemented by robust armor for critical areas.

The city of Belfast bears the Latin motto "Pro tanto quid retribuamus," which is also the motto of HMS Belfast. Derived from Psalm 116, Verse 12, in the Latin Vulgate Bible, it translates to, "For so much, what shall we give in return?"
