Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many times a UK Carrier Strike Group with a wholly sovereign air wing and escort fleet has sailed on (a) exercise and (b) deployment since 2020.
This question was answered on 13th February 2024
The UK Carrier Strike Group (UKCSG) has conducted three deployments since 2020. Sovereign aircraft, escorts and support ships have formed the core of the UKCSG, but each deployment has also involved contributions from partner nations. All three deployments included UKCSG participation in a range of multinational operations and exercises.
