The description is a bit extravagant. She was a cruiser, not a battleship. They do say "major" warship, which again, is extravagant. Battleships and aircraft carriers are major. Wikipedia describes HMS Belfast as a light cruiser. Wikipedia also describes her as the largest, most powerful cruiser in the Royal Navy at the time. She assisted in the destruction of the Scharnhorst.
Canada still has the Haida, but that is a tribal class destroyer, definitely not a major ship. The Americans still have a couple of their old battleships around, and possibly an aircraft carrier or two.

The US does still have Big Mo, the New Jersey, and at least one carrier from the second world war. I do not think any of Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet, that would have taken part in the first world war, is still around though.
