Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 24 January 2022 to Question 106869 on HMS Argyll: Decommissioning, on what date HMS Argyll will be retired, incrementally as part of the Type 23 retirement program.
On current plans, the last Type 23 frigate will transition out of service in 2035.
The Ministry of Defence does not routinely disclose the individual out of service dates of its warships to avoid revealing elements of the Fleet's long term schedule, and thus compromising operational security.
