Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)
The coming years will see the Royal Navy carefully managing the transition between the current fleet to its new ships, maintaining operational commitments while ensuring value for money. I am committed to looking at the future of the Surface Fleet in the round and making tough but necessary decisions to ensure this transition is a success.
Any announcement on the future of the Surface Fleet will be made in the usual way.
