The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how long HMS Ambush has not been operationally deployable.

Answered by Al Carns

I cannot provide specific detail regarding the operational deployability of HMS Ambush as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of any relevant forces.
