I don’t have live access to current news sources in this moment, but I can summarize what’s typically considered “York-class cruiser” in naval history and point you to how to verify the latest updates.
Core context
- The York-class cruiser refers to a pair of British heavy cruisers built in the late 1920s, HMS York and HMS Exeter. They were designed as lighter, more economical successors to the County-class, armed with six 8-inch guns and focused on cruiser duties in the interwar period and the early years of World War II. HMS York was sunk in 1941 after attacks in port, later salvaged and scrapped; HMS Exeter was sunk in 1942 during the Java Sea actions. These are historical ships, not modern active classes.
