Written question asked by Ben Obese-Jecty (Conservative) on Monday, 1 December 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 3 December 2025. It was answered by Luke Pollard (Labour) on Tuesday, 9 December 2025 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
HMS Albion: Repairs and Maintenance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the current cost of maintaining HMS Albion is.
- Answer
-
HMS Albion was never due to go to sea ahead of its out-of-service date in 2033. It’s disposal shows that we are delivering for defence by divesting ourselves of old capabilities to make way for the future. This ship was effectively mothballed by the previous Government.
The Current Book Value of HMS ALBION is zero. The shift was valued to zero following the Defence Secretary's announcement to remove it from service last year.
The annual maintenance cost for HMS ALBION is circa £2 million per annum.
