High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Belfast (PF-35), a Tacoma-class frigate, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Belfast, Maine. Belfast (PF-35) was laid down on 26 March 1943 at Wilmington, California, by the Consolidated Steel Corporation under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 1446); launched on 20 May 1943; sponsored by Miss Elizabeth C. Wilson; and placed in commission at Terminal Island, California, on 24 November 1943, Lt. Comdr. J. J. Hutson, USCG, in command. Following outfitting, shakedown, and post-shakedown repairs, the frigate stood out of San Pedro, California, on 30 April 1944 and headed for Australia. After stopping at Noumea, New Caledonia, Belfast reached Cairns, at the end of May. From there, it moved into the southwestern Pacific theater of operations to serve as a patrol vessel and a convoy escort. During the summer and early fall of 1944, the warship supported the latter stages of the leapfrog assaults along the northern coast of New Guinea. It took part in the Noemfoor Island landing on 2 July and in the assault on Cape Opmarai four weeks later.
