The historic name of Leeds’s very own warship is set to live on.
The name HMS Ark Royal – one of the most prominent in Navy history – will pass to a new aircraft carrier, after an intervention by the Prince of Wales.
The Prince is understood to have privately agreed to allow HMS Prince of Wales, which is under construction, to be renamed Ark Royal, after the former flagship bearing the name was decommissioned.
A senior Navy officer is understood to have approached the Prince, who holds the rank of admiral in the Navy, who said he had no objection to the name change.
