HMS Liverpool connects the Asama Maru incident to the Town-class light cruisers. Her importance here is compared with HMS Birmingham's role in the Tsingtao incident, and the discussion points toward Liverpool's later wartime career. The research connection with HMS Eskimo also links the Town class to the Tribal-class destroyers. The class's history extends beyond the familiar preserved example of HMS Belfast. A book shown on screen is recommended as further reading.
