Not sure if you guys will get this... I'm looking for what it is and where it's from.  I was there this past summer to see it.

Ok, so it's a steam turbine on a warship. Looks like cruiser size. HMS Belfast? Only preserved cruiser I know of (I'm sure there are others).

Me and my boys visited her while in London this summer.  Impressive ship for it's size.



My boys in the command seats...
