Question

Where can I read about the assessment of returning HMS Belfast to service?

Short answer

The suggested sources are National Archives material, the Belfast book sold aboard the ship and Neil McCart's book on Town-class cruisers.

Notes

The suggested archival material is at the National Archives, although access is described as limited at the time of recording. Published alternatives are the HMS Belfast book sold aboard the ship and Neil McCart's Town-class cruiser book. These are references to pursue rather than a quoted archival file number or a detailed account of the assessment.
