Type 83 Destroyers: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Type 83 destroyers will be built by the Royal Navy.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Future Air Dominance System (FADS) programme, which encompasses the Type 83 destroyer, is in its concept phase. On current plans, the Outline Business Case will be submitted in June 2026 and subject to the Defence Investment Plan is due for publication this Autumn. The number of Type 83s will be confirmed by the Full Business Case.
