The Royal Navy (RN) continuously reviews the capabilities required to deliver their tasking. As part of this process the RN is working alongside other areas of the Ministry of Defence to consider options for Harpoon replacement.

I am withholding further detail as its disclosure would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
