York is a cathedral city and unitary authority area at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in England. The city is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. York is the most populous district within the lieutenancy area of North Yorkshire and second largest built-up area. City of York Council is a unitary authority responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city and rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. The unitary authority is in the Leeds city region along with most of the former West Riding of Yorkshire, apart from South Yorkshire (in the Sheffield city region) and Derbyshire. At the 2011 census, the borough population was 198,051 and the population of the city was 153,717.
The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. It is about 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Leeds and 34 miles (55 km) north-west of Kingston upon Hull.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík.

This is a list of auxiliaries of the United States Navy. It covers the various types of ships that support the frontline combat vessels of the United States Navy.
Auxiliary ships which function as hospital ships and as oilers are to be found in their own articles: List of United States Navy hospital ships and List of United States Navy oilers. Escort carriers, amphibious warfare vessels, and some mine warfare vessels were also originally classed as auxiliaries but were later given their own hull classification symbols outside the auxiliary series (which all begin with an 'A'). Links to these and other list articles of similar ships can be found throughout this article.
Yard and district craft also function as auxiliaries but generally are smaller and less capable than their ocean-going counterparts, and so they generally remain in harbors and coastal areas.
