Since the death of Prince Philip, there have been calls for a new royal yacht to be commissioned, bearing his name.
The former Royal Yacht Britannia, which was retired in 1997, transported the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on 968 state visits, covering 700,000 miles over more than four decades.
Retired Vice Admiral John McAnally was one of the naval officers on board and remembers the time he spent at sea with the royal family.

I daresay Prince Philip would much prefer to have a proper naval vessel named after him.

It would probably be much more to Philip's liking to name like the next British Aircraft Carrier after him, or a cruiser class.

A bit of a false title here, as after watching the video all the way through, nowhere does it mention the commissioning of a new Royal yacht.

I got to go on it and I was shocked there is even an operating room in case somebody needs emergency surgery. It is really amazing and I don’t know why it can’t be in use.

Let those who are in favour of it contribute to its build, upkeep and maintenance.

I've visited Britannia. She's still afloat and, by my uneducated eye, still capable of being put back into service. Still maintained on daily basis by a dedicated crew.

How about a new actual navly ship named after him. We could do with those more then a roaly yacht. Im not against a roaly yacht named after him tho but seeing as we need more ships on the navy rather it be that

"Calls for a new royal yacht" Really? From who?

Can double up as troop transport in times of need if a bid deployment is needed like in the Falkland war

I think a replacement for Britannia is long overdue and HMY Prince Philip would be a fitting memorial to 'the duke'. I suspect the cost could be readily met by public donations. Someone could commission a poll should there be any doubts...
