Background

About the ship

The third King George V-class battleship—HMS Duke of York—was laid down in 1937 in Clydebank and entered service in November 1941. The ship participated in escorting convoys and covering the landing of Allied forces in North Africa in 1942. On December 26, 1943, she sank German battleship Scharnhorst. Later, after a major overhaul, she became the flagship of the Pacific Fleet and the Home Fleet between 1947 and 1949.
