Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to have the new Royal Yacht manned by the Royal Navy.
This question was answered on 17th September 2021
The National Flagship is not a direct replacement for HMY Britannia and therefore, will not be a Royal Yacht. The National Flagship will be crewed by the Royal Navy and is expected to be in service for around 30 years.
