Frigates: Decommissioning

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish a list of the frigates in the Royal Navy by retirement date.

Answer

On current plans, the last Type 23 frigate will transition out of service in 2035.

To avoid compromising operational security, the Ministry of Defence does not routinely disclose individual out of service dates or specific in-service dates for warships to avoid revealing elements of the Fleet's long-term schedule.
