To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Goldie on 17 November (HL3222), whether the delivery rate of Type 26 frigates to initial operating capability, after HMS Glasgow, will be once every 12 months.
This question was answered on 30th November 2022
Initial Operating Capability (IOC) is only declared once for ship classes. The Type 26 Class's IOC is forecast to be October 2028.
While delivery rates for the following hulls 2-8 may vary, all ships are expected to enter service between 2028 and 2035.
