Is Belfast good?
Belfast covers both sides of the fight: her smoke screen buffs evasion and cuts air-raid damage for nearby allies, and it's guaranteed to go off ten seconds into a battle, which is especially strong in PvP. On offense, Reinforced HE Shells stays active and adds real damage on its own, worth up to 25%, and her torpedo damage is high even without a dedicated torpedo skill.
Her anti-air is weaker than you'd expect from a light cruiser, and her ideal HE gun is rare, but she still fits into a Royal Navy fleet or stands on her own.
Pairs well with: 
Queen Elizabeth; 
Hood.

Background
'Good day to you. My name is Belfast, of the Edinburgh-class, second ship. I serve as head maid of the Royal Navy's largest cruiser. I've taken part in several campaigns, and witnessed the fall of Lord Scharnhorst with my own eyes... a trivial thing, for a maid. Please, let me know if you need anything.'
