York's wreck remained at Suda Bay for a decade

The cruiser was operationally lost in 1941, but her remains sat at Suda Bay until final disposal in 1952.

Notes

York's wartime loss and the disposal of her wreck occurred years apart. She was lost on 22 May 1941 but was not finally scrapped until 3 March 1952. Her remains therefore sat at Suda Bay for roughly a decade after she ceased to be a fighting ship. The chronology distinguishes the ship's operational loss from the much later removal of her remains.
