ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
HMS Belfast, a Royal Navy cruiser, served on the Arctic convoy route to North Russia during the Second World War, escorting convoys through the Arctic to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. She is now preserved afloat as a branch of the Imperial War Museums, moored on the Thames at The Queen's Walk near Tower Bridge.
Documented by the Imperial War Museums («HMS Belfast and the Arctic Convoys»).
