Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, is he will set out the (a) delivery and (b) in-service date for each Type 26 frigate.
This question was answered on 20th October 2025
The Type 26 programme remains on track to meet all user requirements and deliver eight world-class anti-submarine warfare frigates in time to replace the anti-submarine warfare Type 23s. All ships are expected to enter service between 2028 and 2035.
Type 26 Frigates will allow the Royal Navy to continue to play a leading role in the anti-submarine theatre of the North Atlantic, providing a crucial output to both NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force.
