The Secretary of State did announce that the Royal Navy will deploy a Type 45 Destroyer to NATO's Standing Maritime Group 1 in October 2016.

However, I am withholding details of the ship that will be deployed as such a disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
