Crew will be required to decommission HMS Lancaster. Disposal options are currently under consideration, therefore I am unable to confirm when this process will be complete. The Royal Navy is committed to reuniting the crew with their loved ones as soon as possible and will maximise the number of personnel that can travel home for Christmas.
