Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what he plans the size of the Frigate fleet will be in 2025.
This question was answered on 24th March 2016
The 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review announced that we will maintain our fleet of 19 frigates and destroyers whilst also conducting a concept phase for the design and build of a new class of lighter, flexible general purpose frigate so that by the 2030s there is potential to increase the total number of frigates and destroyers.
