HMS Pembroke

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 27 May 2025 to Question 52922 on Warships: Decommissioning, how much the Romanian Government paid for HMS Pembroke; and what the structure of the payments is.

Answered by Maria Eagle

HMS Pembroke was sold to the Romanian Navy in September 2023, and is currently being prepared for transfer, which is expected to take place by the end of July 2025.

The Ministry of Defence does not routinely disclose the financial details or payment structures of bilateral defence sales, including the transfer of HMS Pembroke to the Romanian Government, due to commercial and operational sensitivities.
