HMS Duke of York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Duke of York, after numerous holders of the title of Duke of York:
- HMS Duke of York was a 4-gun cutter purchased in 1763 and sold in 1776.
- HMS Duke of York was a King George V class battleship launched in 1940, and broken up in 1958. The original plan was to name her HMS Anson, but she was renamed prior to launch.
