THE NEW BATTLESHIP
A CHANGE OF NAME (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Dec. 22. (Received Dec. 23, at 6.30 p.m.) It has been decided that the battleship of the 1937 programme, which is being built at Clydebank, will be named the Duke of York, instead of Anson. The new name is thought to be more appropriate for the sister ship of the King George the Fifth and the Prince of Wales.
