new plan for 'Royal Yacht Britannia'


A mocked up image of what the new flagship might look like has been released


A new national flagship is to be commissioned by the government in a bid to boost British trade and industry globally, the prime minister has said.


The vessel will be the successor to the Royal Yacht Britannia, which was retired in 1997.


The government plans to build the ship in the UK, at a reported cost of £200m.
