Type 26 Frigates: Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timeline is for the full weapons fit of the Type 26 frigate to become operational.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Type 26 programme remains on track to meet all user requirements and deliver world-class anti-submarine warfare frigates.
T26 will be fitted with the Mk41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) and there will be options for spiral development of weapon systems throughout the ships’ life. The first T26 frigate is expected to enter service from 2028.
