Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to reduce the number of amphibious landing crafts used by the Royal Marines.
This question was answered on 25th April 2017
The Royal Marines currently operate ten Landing Craft Utility and sixteen Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel (LCVP). On current plans, four LCVPs will be retired from service in 2018, when their parent ship (HMS OCEAN) is decommissioned. The Naval Service will continue to be able to deliver all planned amphibious tasking.
