(asked on 9th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a decision regarding the future of HMS Ocean has been put on hold until the work of the National Security Adviser is complete.
This question was answered on 17th January 2018
HMS OCEAN entered service in 1998 with a specific service life of 20 years. In the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015, the decision was taken not to extend her service life and she would, therefore, decommission during 2018 as planned.
Discussions with the Government of Brazil about the sale of OCEAN are ongoing, but no decisions have been made.
