my friends decided to go online and buy some equi

naming in Belfast on Wednesday of one of the Royal Navy's 21st century frigates, as HMS Belfast.


The second to be named in a brand new fleet of eight cutting-edge, anti-submarine warfare frigates, HMS Belfast will provide advanced protection for Britain's nuclear deterrent and the two Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.


Defense Secretary Michael Fallon revealed the name at the Belfast shipyard of Harland and Wolff Delanie Walker Jersey , where her namesake was built for the Royal Navy's in 1938.


Fallon said: "I'm hugely proud that the second name announced of our new Type 26 frigates will be HMS Belfast. She and her sister ships will form the backbone of our Navy well into the 2060s. It's apt to name this ship at the famous site which built the very first HMS Belfast."


The new HMS Belfast is set to enter service in the mid-2020s and, along with her fellow Type 26 frigates.
