Type 31 Frigates: Guided Weapons
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to incorporate the Mk41 vertical launch system on Type 31 vessels.
- Answer
-
We intend to fit the Type 31 frigate with the Mark 41 vertical launch system. Working closely with the US Navy, we have commenced a formal assessment phase to explore the options, costs, and opportunities to deliver this. At this early stage, it would be inappropriate to provide any further information whilst this commercially sensitive work is ongoing.
