Summary
HMS 'Caroline', Alexandra Dock Belfast. Seen here in Belfast's Alexandra Dock, HMS Caroline is a C-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy. Caroline was launched and commissioned in 1914, making her the second-oldest ship currently in RN service, after HMS Victory. She acts as a static headquarters and training ship for the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR), based in Belfast. She is the last remaining British World War I light cruiser in service, and the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland (1916) still afloat. See a full article on her at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Caroline_(1914)" class="extiw" title="en:HMS Caroline (1914)">wikipedia</a>. She is normally open to the public on European Heritage Open Days in September. This is the view at dusk - previously photographs were hampered by a high fence, but this has been partially removed as work continues on the 'Titanic Quarter' regeneration scheme at Belfast docks. I shall return during daylight for some more - see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HMS_%27Caroline%27,_Alexandra_Dock_Belfast_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1107339.jpg" title="File:HMS 'Caroline', Alexandra Dock Belfast - geograph.org.uk - 1107339.jpg">1107339</a>.
