HMS Belfast - Engine Room

Took over 30 crew to just operate the engines. Belfast had redundancy between her boilers and engines so an entire boiler and engine could be disabled, and the remaining one would power the ship. I was lucky enough to have one of the ratings give me a personal tour of the engine room and point out some of the interesting features.
