Fleet Solid Support Ships
(asked on 15th April 2024) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of speeding up delivery times for the Fleet Solid Support ships.
This question was answered on 29th April 2024
The approved In-Service Date for the first Fleet Solid Support ship is 2031. The Royal Navy expects to manage RFA Fort Victoria's operational status as necessary to maintain solid support ship availability during the capability transition period. Should opportunities arise that will expedite these timelines, then the Department will consider those in a value for money context.
