HMS BELFAST:Edinburgh Class Town-class light cruiser ( WAR THUNDER NAVAL SHIPS)

The vibration of HMS Belfast’s guns firing during D-Day ended up cracking the crew’s toilets.

HMS Belfast was one of the larger warships in the fleet, with a fully equipped sick bay, a surgeon commander and two surgeon lieutenants. At 1300 on 6 June, casualties began to arrive on board.
On 25 June, during one of the quiet periods when fighting had largely moved out of range of HMS Belfast’s guns, some of the unoccupied members of the crew were chosen to form working parties to go ashore and help clear the beaches. The entry in the ship's log (pictured here) for 1100 states: 'Beaching working party ashore'. However, some members of the crew, such as Seaman David Jones, were not convinced of the need for these duties: 'There was a Beachmaster there. He was a lieutenant commander, I think - "do this, do that, push this, shove that" - we didn’t know what we were achieving really, we just did what we were told.'
