Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is his target date for the completion of HMS Trent's maintenance period.

There has been no delay to HMS TRENT's refit. She started a capability refit in October 2024, which completed in December 2024. This was followed by a Capability Insertion Period, which is now complete. HMS Trent is currently undergoing planned force generation and machinery trials alongside in Malta, before proceeding to sea in mid-May.
