Warships: Shipbuilding

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2106 to Question 40706, on Type 45 destroyers, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that other vessels which (a) have been recently commissioned and (b) are under construction do not have the same problems with their propulsion systems.

Answer

There are no other vessels either recently commissioned or under construction that share a common power and propulsion system architecture with the Type 45 Destroyer. It is not therefore anticipated that future vessels will encounter the issues experienced with the Type 45 Power and Propulsion System.
