Warships: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the Planning Assumption for Service Entry for the Royal Navy’s new CCV class.

Answer

The Hybrid Navy Integrated Air and Missile Defence capability will replace the current fleet of six Type 45 destroyers. While the Common Combat Vessel (CCV) remains in the initial stages of design, the Royal Navy’s aspiration is to sequence the arrival of the CCV and wider Hybrid Navy Integrated Air and Missile Defence capability with the out of service dates of the Type 45s in the mid-2030s onwards.
