Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, who was born in Scarborough, made the announcement during a visit to the town’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) station to meet sea cadets. He said:
“HMS Duncan has already proved her might on the world stage, from her deployment to the Black Sea leading a NATO task force to her crucial work patrolling home waters. The ship’s new affiliation will not just honour this great town right across the world, but also pay tribute to thousands of Yorkshiremen and women who have served in Armed Forces.”
