HMS Iron Duke: Decommissioning
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the out of service date of HMS Iron Duke has changed.
- Answer
-
As the hon. Member will recall from his time as a Defence Minister. The Ministry of Defence does not routinely publish out-of-service dates for individual Royal Navy vessels.
The precise out-of-service date will be determined through balancing operational requirements, maintenance schedules, and transition to modern and world leading capabilities introduced with the Type 26 and Type 31 Frigates entering service.
