The article mentions the Duke of York and Prince of Wales as already laid down (towards the end) so that's not them. Makes me wonder which ships these are now. Put my guess down for the Lion and the Temeraire. Started in 1939, stopped in 1940. Per Wikipedia, ordered 2/21/1939. (Two others of the class ordered in August.

See my post #24. The article mentions the Lion and Temeraire as already appropriated the previous year, but I did find reference to two other Lion Class BB that were never built. It may be them.
