THE DUKE OF YORK.
NAME FOR BATTLESHIP.
(British Official Wireless). RUGBY, Dec. 22
It has been decided that a battleship of the 1937 programme being built at Clydebank will be named the Duke of York, instead of Anson. The new name is thought to be more appropriate for a sister ship of the King George V. and the Prince of Wales.
