Belfast never went to Malta Martin. She hit a mine in 1939 and repairs took till 1942. She then served in the Atlantic on Russian convoys.
Belfast and Sheffield then encountered the German Gneisenau class battlecruiser Scharnhorst, and with the battleship HMS Duke of York subsequently sank her.
She then was part of Operation Tungsten in March 1944, a large carrier-launched air strike against the Tirpitz
In June 1944 she took part in the bombardment of enemy positions at the beginning of Operation Neptune, the landing phase of the D-Day landings, as flagship of bombardment Force E.
The ship is currently painted in a camouflage scheme officially known as Admiralty Disruptive Camouflage Type 25. In the real timeline, HMS Belfast carried that paint scheme from November 1942 to July 1944.
