Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what process the Royal Navy uses when deciding the names of new vessels; and whether names of UK cities can be used for the Type 26.
This question was answered on 9th September 2014
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 5 September 2014, (Official Report, column 363w) to the hon. Member for Plymouth, Sutton & Devonport (Mr Colvile).
As a new class of Royal Navy warship, the naming of the Type 26 Frigates will follow a theme, and this is under consideration. The Ships' Names and Badges Committee has noted the proposal to use names of UK cities.
