HMS Albion: Repairs and Maintenance
(asked on 1st December 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the current cost of maintaining HMS Albion is.
This question was answered on 9th December 2025
HMS Albion was never due to go to sea ahead of its out-of-service date in 2033. It’s disposal shows that we are delivering for defence by divesting ourselves of old capabilities to make way for the future. This ship was effectively mothballed by the previous Government.
The Current Book Value of HMS ALBION is zero. The shift was valued to zero following the Defence Secretary's announcement to remove it from service last year.
The annual maintenance cost for HMS ALBION is circa £2 million per annum.
