Type 26 Frigates
(asked on 11th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how long they anticipate it will take BAE Systems to build a Type 26 frigate; and what assessment they have made of that timescale.
This question was answered on 25th September 2017
The first ship, HMS GLASGOW, is expected to be structurally complete in the early 2020s. This timescale is consistent with the engineering challenge of building the First of Class of a modern complex warship.
